William Richert, LPC

William Richert is an LPC with 15 years of clinical experience, licensed in Oregon and Wyoming. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns such as addiction, grief, anger, sleep problems, and self-esteem.

He blends talking and practical work. Sessions combine open listening with teaching specific skills to manage intense feelings and reduce unhelpful habits. He uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness approaches to make change concrete and manageable.

William often frames problems in terms of everyday habits and thinking patterns. He helps people notice thought patterns that increase distress and then tests new ways of responding. There is an emphasis on short, practical exercises you can use between meetings to build momentum.

He also draws on principles from positive psychology to identify strengths and build rewarding activities. Therapy may include skills for emotional regulation, communication, and grounding after setbacks or traumatic experiences. He explains ideas about the brain and nervous system to make strategies easier to use.

William describes therapy as a collaborative process. Outside actions and practice matter as much as in-session work, and he encourages regular small steps that fit daily life. People who want a mix of listening and concrete tools will find a clear structure to the work with him.
