About William

William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Eastern Washington University. He has about 10 years of practice and has worked in community mental health settings. He introduces himself as Will and brings a straightforward, down-to-earth presence to sessions.

Will listens first and focuses on understanding each person's experience. He helps people find their own answers and offers guidance when it is needed. He works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, depression, parenting, trauma and sleep problems.

His clinical background includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He uses these approaches to teach practical skills, manage difficult feelings, and build clearer goals for everyday life.

Will has experience supporting people facing relationship strain, issues tied to family of origin, adoption and foster care questions, gender dysphoria, and challenges such as ADHD or bipolar symptoms. He also works with concerns like body image, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and first responder issues.

Outside of work he spends time with young children, reads, and plays video and board games. He aims to make therapy feel collaborative and accessible, and he invites people ready to change to begin that work together.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low self esteem, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal skills, which can be useful for impulsivity, anger, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Will aims to figure out what fits each person's goals and preferences through conversation and collaboration. He will adjust methods over time based on what is helpful and what a person wants to focus on.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, child care, or school commitments, and it can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or options that don't require being on camera, depending on available formats. Ask about current session options when you schedule to match the format to your daily routine.
