About William
William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with ten years of experience. He works with adults on concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and issues related to LGBT identity. He also addresses attention difficulties, mood concerns, sleep problems, and effects of trauma and abuse.
Will trained with a Master of Social Work and spent much of his career in community mental health. He has experience seeing adults, teenagers, and children in past roles and draws on that background when adults bring concerns about family or parenting into sessions.
His approach begins with careful listening. He helps people clarify what matters to them, then suggests practical steps to try between sessions. Will uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when clients need help with emotional regulation and impulsivity. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.
Outside work he spends most free time with his young children and fits reading, video games, and board games into the leftovers of life. He asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so they can talk about goals and the best next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It helps when values and daily life feel out of step with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to reframe thoughts and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. He uses this discussion to shape which methods to try and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that can interrupt childcare or work breaks. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT skills to an online setting so people can practice tools between meetings and build daily routines that support family life.
