About William

William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with 10 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as ADHD and bipolar mood challenges.

Will trained in social work at Eastern Washington University and spent years in community mental health. He has worked with adults, children, and teenagers in that setting and has used cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods in his practice.

In sessions he listens first and helps people find practical steps that fit their lives. He also provides direction when someone needs a clearer plan. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change now.

Will pays attention to how early family roles and patterns continue to show up in adult life. He can help people notice repeating behaviors, communication habits, and expectations they inherited from family of origin situations and consider different choices going forward.

Work with him typically involves learning coping skills, practicing new ways of responding to stress, and testing small changes between sessions. He encourages simple experiments you can try outside the session and then talk through what did and did not work.

Outside clinical work he is a parent and spends his spare time reading and playing video games and board games. He welcomes conversations about practical steps people can take to feel more steady in day-to-day life.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions tied to values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills address emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for impulsivity, anger, and intense mood shifts.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as sessions progress.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find video sessions useful for guided skill practice, while others prefer audio sessions for quicker conversations with less bandwidth. Discuss format preferences when scheduling so sessions match daily routines and practical needs.
