About William
William "Bill" Blundell brings 17 years of clinical counseling experience and an Illinois LCPC to his therapeutic work. He began his professional licensure path in 2007 and has held the LCPC designation in Illinois since 2010.
Background and approach
Alongside clinical practice, he has taught counseling courses at Bradley University, covering substance abuse, grief and loss, and human growth and development, and since 2018 has also worked in probation while continuing to teach and consult to keep clinical skills current. Bill works from a nonjudgmental, open-minded stance and emphasizes listening first.
He describes himself as a laid-back counselor with a sense of humor, believing that humor can be part of healing. His practice has focused on a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, anger management, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma, and addictions, and he has spent additional time developing expertise related to obsessive compulsive disorder.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach that aims to help them identify and make the changes they want, rather than being told what to do. He is motivated to support people across diverse backgrounds and life situations and to help them find practical steps toward short- and longer-term goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
William "Bill" Blundell uses evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and patterns to produce practical changes in mood and behavior, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with goal-oriented action, which can be useful for coping with life transitions, grief, and chronic emotional difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each client to explore which methods feel like the best fit given their goals, preferences, and current concerns, and adapt techniques over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so sessions can fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue therapeutic work even when in-person meetings are impractical, helping clients access consistent support while balancing other life commitments.
