About William
William Teese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, grief, trauma and life changes. He also helps people facing career challenges and caregiving or aging-related concerns.
He spent seven years at a residential substance abuse treatment facility, where he worked with people dealing with substance misuse, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, anger, and resentment. He has experience supporting adults from age 18 through late life. He also worked for a major medical insurer’s Special Needs Program, helping clients with Medicare and Medicaid build coping skills to improve daily functioning.
For three years he served as a crisis counselor with Military OneSource, offering short-term support for acute stress and related problems. That experience informs how he handles sudden setbacks and intense emotions. He uses straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than abstract theory.
William’s practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice calm in the moment, and change patterns that lead to repeated conflicts. Sessions focus on concrete strategies you can use between meetings.
He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
William uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in plain, practical ways. CBT helps identify thought patterns that fuel anger and frustration, then tests those thoughts with small behavioral steps. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to notice tension and choose a calmer response in the moment.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. He will talk with clients about goals, what has helped before, and daily routines. Together they choose exercises and practices that fit the client’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or reduce travel time to appointments. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the settings where problems occur and then talk through what happened in the next meeting.
