About William "Bill" Blundell

William "Bill" Blundell, LCPC, brings a grounded, practical approach to counseling shaped by years of clinical work and teaching. As an LCPC - a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor authorized to provide clinical counseling in Illinois - he has maintained a steady commitment to helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship challenges, and other life difficulties. His training also includes focused work with obsessive-compulsive concerns and exposure-based interventions, and he has continued to deepen his understanding of these areas over the course of his career.

Beyond direct counseling, Bill has served as an adjunct professor at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where he has taught courses on substance abuse, grief and loss, and human growth and development. Since 2018 he has also worked in the field of probation, and he combines those experiences with ongoing teaching and consulting to keep his clinical skills current. That mix of practice, instruction, and consultation informs a flexible, informed style of care.

Known for a laid-back demeanor and a belief that humor can be therapeutic, he aims to provide a nonjudgmental space where clients can be heard and supported. He views counseling as a collaborative process in which clients identify the changes they want to make and he helps guide the work needed to reach those goals. Bill encourages anyone considering counseling to take the first step and explore what therapy can offer.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and impulse-related concerns. He also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when clients need focused skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is tailored collaboratively. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods best fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving the therapeutic connection and practical skill-building work that counseling provides.
