About William
William Jeffery is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 13 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and major life changes. He speaks English and practices from a practical, direct stance aimed at helping people handle day-to-day difficulties.
He uses client-centered methods that focus on the person’s own goals and perspective. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practical ways to test different behaviors. Motivational interviewing shows up when people feel stuck and want help finding the next step without pressure.
In sessions he encourages honest conversation about what is happening now and what the person wants to change. He aims to reduce reactive outbursts, manage resentment, and improve communication in relationships. He also helps people cope after traumatic experiences and major life shifts.
William notes that getting started can feel difficult. He asks clients to describe specific moments that cause trouble, then works with them to set small, measurable goals. Sessions are focused and grounded in practical strategies that can be applied between meetings.
For people handling anger, he tends to translate intense feelings into concrete steps: noticing triggers, testing different responses, and practicing new habits. He balances listening with straightforward feedback so clients leave with clear next steps.
How William Uses Common Approaches in Remote Sessions
William often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and goals, encouraging honest talk about thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone needs space to describe what angers them and what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes. It helps with reactive anger, workplace frustration, and anxiety by breaking problems into manageable steps.He treats choosing an approach as a team decision. The therapist listens to what is most troubling, discusses possible methods, and recommends a path based on the person’s goals and preferences. Clients are invited to try an approach and give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel for appointments. It also allows steady work on communication skills, thinking patterns, and coping strategies across regular sessions without promising a specific outcome.
