About William

William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with a decade of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He has worked in community mental health settings with adults, children, and teenagers, drawing on evidence-based tools to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, and other life transitions.

He combines practical skills training with empathy to help clients navigate both everyday stressors and more complex emotional concerns. Will emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered approach that begins with listening and understanding.

He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and elements of dialectical strategies to help clients identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and set realistic goals. He aims to empower people to find their own answers while offering guidance when needed.

Outside of clinical work he spends time with his young children and enjoys reading, video games, and board games. William accepts international clients and provides sessions in English, offering multiple online session formats to accommodate varied schedules and needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

William often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people examine and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday difficulties. He also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles to support values-driven change and improve psychological flexibility when coping with loss, chronic stress, or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used at times to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people struggling with intense emotions or impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. William works with each person to explore what feels most useful given their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time rather than relying on a single technique.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to receive support from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured tools, skill practice, and ongoing feedback while accommodating varied communication styles and practical constraints.
