About William

William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with ten years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, parenting, and anger. Sessions also address issues tied to identity and relationships, including LGBTQ matters and gender dysphoria.

Will trained with a Master of Social Work and spent years in community mental health. That work included supporting people through trauma, abuse, bipolar and ADHD challenges, and coping with big life changes. He also helps with family of origin concerns, communication problems, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress.

His practical approach begins with listening. He helps people identify their own answers and offers direction when it is needed. He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

In sessions he focuses on skills you can practice between meetings. That includes techniques for handling impulsivity, managing anger, improving sleep, and reducing reactive thinking. Will mixes short-term problem-solving with longer work on values and behavior change.

Outside of practice he balances work with family life and hobbies like reading and games. He accepts international clients and runs sessions from Oregon. If someone wants practical help with temper, stress, or shifting patterns that cause recurring conflict, he offers a straightforward, skills-focused way to work on those goals.

Approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, consistent steps toward them. It helps when anger or avoidance gets in the way of things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for reducing reactivity and improving coping in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit current needs, goals, and preferences. That often means trying a few techniques and adjusting what is emphasized based on what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It also lets someone continue progress across moves or while living outside Oregon. Therapists use practical exercises, skills coaching, and assigned practice between meetings to keep momentum and make change possible.
