About William
William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oregon with ten years of experience. He draws on practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship or parenting concerns. He listens first and offers clear direction when needed.
Will trained with a Masters in Social Work and spent years in community mental health settings. That work brought experience with adults, children, and teenagers and a range of everyday problems.
Background and approach
He uses approaches like cognitive-behavioral methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to build skills and solve current problems. In sessions he focuses on helping people find workable answers for their lives. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented.
He helps clients learn strategies that they can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, sleep problems, mood instability, body image, and identity issues including gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Additional areas include caregiver stress, communication problems, impulsivity, and challenges around adoption or abandonment.
Outside of work he spends most of his free time with his young children and enjoys reading, video games, and board games. He aims to create a calm, practical space where people can work toward the changes they want.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move on toward what matters in life. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and value-driven changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. It often suits depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and impulsivity.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can evolve as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let you see facial cues and work through skills in real time, phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or being on camera feels hard, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
