About William

William Richert is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 15 years of experience working in Wyoming and the surrounding region. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and difficulties around relationships and family issues. He also focuses on life purpose, career questions, and midlife concerns.

Richert blends listening with practical coaching. He balances allowing people to talk through what’s on their mind with giving concrete tools to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. He often uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive approaches alongside mindfulness practices.

He works with clients to identify personal strengths and then build habits that support better mood and clearer decision making. Sessions may include skill practice, short experiments to try between meetings, and discussion of patterns that show up in relationships and work. He explains emotions and stress in straightforward terms, sometimes referencing how the brain and nervous system respond.

Richert describes therapy as a collaborative process where what a person does outside sessions matters a great deal. He encourages practical changes people can use in daily life, not only talking about problems. He also uses elements from motivational interviewing to support commitment to change.

Clients who are exploring life purpose, wrestling with shame or guilt, or managing panic and mood concerns will find an emphasis on skills and real-world application. He is licensed as an LPC in Wyoming and works in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a therapeutic relationship so clients can talk through what matters to them and set their own goals. This approach supports discussing life purpose and clarifying values in straightforward language.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing different responses, and planning small activities to change mood and functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends change strategies with mindfulness and emotion regulation skills. DBT-informed work teaches concrete tools for stress, anger, and relationship difficulties, and often includes practice of those tools between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit current goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as priorities shift.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion.
