About William

William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and other life disruptions.

Background and approach

He blends acceptance and skill-building, offering space to talk things through while also coaching clients in practical techniques to feel and perform better. With 15 years of clinical work, he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and skills-based strategies to support resilience and emotional regulation.

Richert emphasizes identifying and strengthening personal resources rather than only managing problems. He incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to teach concrete coping tools, and he uses positive psychology concepts to help clients cultivate more positive emotions, meaning, and engagement.

He also references neurobiological ideas to make stress, emotions, and relationship patterns easier to understand. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that honors individual pace and autonomy while focusing on measurable skills and real-world application.

Outside-session practice is viewed as an important part of progress, and practical interventions are balanced with acceptance and empathy to support lasting change.

Practical approaches for online growth and resilience

William uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy is part of his orientation as well, providing a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own perspective and autonomy guide the goals and pace of work. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for clients facing trauma, relationship strain, or intense emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He works together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques from CBT, DBT-informed skills, and client-centered methods to form a tailored plan that fits the individual’s life and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family obligations and allow for ongoing access to skills coaching and check-ins. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to practice behavioral experiments, review between-session work, and reinforce tools in real time to support steady progress.
