About William Richert
William Richert is a licensed counselor who blends acceptance with practical coaching to help adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. He holds the credentials LMHC and LPC - LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LPC for Licensed Professional Counselor - and maintains licensure across multiple states including Washington, Oregon, and Wyoming. William combines a patient, accepting stance with targeted tools and techniques so clients can both process experiences and develop skills for lasting change.
He emphasizes Dialectical Behavior Therapy and positive psychology to strengthen relationships, increase resilience after setbacks and trauma, and enhance overall quality of life. By helping clients identify and apply their unique character strengths, he supports greater positive emotion, meaning, and engagement in daily life. His work often focuses on building resources and opportunities rather than only managing problems, with an emphasis on concrete skills that translate into everyday routines.
William also integrates concepts from interpersonal neurobiology to make emotion regulation, stress management, and relational patterns easier to understand by referencing how the brain and nervous system operate. For processing disturbing memories and intense emotional material he offers EMDR as one of the available options. He views therapeutic progress as a partnership and highlights that what a client does between sessions is as important to change as the work done together in therapy.
Committed to an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship, William strives to understand each person’s perspective, listen for their priorities, respect autonomy, and follow the client in setting goals and pace. He honors clients' timing and choices, offering support and coaching while allowing room for doubt and indecision during the change process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
William integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices into online work to help clients build practical skills and reduce suffering. DBT blends acceptance with change-focused skills, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for mood disorders, relationship difficulties, and impulsive behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering structured techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop healthier coping patterns for anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonreactive attention to experience, which supports stress reduction, improved emotional balance, and clearer decision making.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. William works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy feels both personally relevant and practically useful. He aims to combine acceptance, skill building, and coaching in ways that align with the client’s values and life context.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access care from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between meetings through shorter check-ins or messaging when appropriate, supporting continuity and steady progress.
