About William

William Keeler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oregon with ten years of practice. He earned a Master of Social Work from Eastern Washington University and has spent years in community mental health. He goes by Will and prefers a straightforward, down-to-earth approach when meeting people for the first time.

Will listens first and helps people name what matters to them. He uses clear, practical tools rather than jargon. When people want direction, he offers it; when they need space to arrive at their own answers, he steps back.

He works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and relationship and family challenges. He also focuses on adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and first responder concerns.

Will draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions aim to teach skills people can use between meetings and to set manageable steps toward change.

Outside of work he spends most of his free time with his young children and enjoys reading, video games, and board games. He welcomes people who are ready to take a next step and prefers to work in a collaborative, respectful way.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, purposeful actions toward them. It often helps people who feel stuck during life changes or who struggle with worry and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and interpersonal skills and is often used when strong emotions and impulsivity get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods together. Therapy is a collaborative process where techniques are tested and adjusted over time.

Session format options are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, and daily routines, and it can reduce travel time. Some formats require less bandwidth or camera use and can be used for shorter check-ins; others allow longer, more focused meetings. Discuss practical needs during the initial matching so the schedule and session style fit everyday life.
