William Keeler , LCSW

William Keeler, who commonly goes by Will, holds a Masters in Social Work from Eastern Washington University and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon - a credential that indicates advanced training to provide clinical therapy. Over the course of his 10-year career he has worked in community mental health settings with adults, children, and teenagers, building experience across a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, and parenting challenges.

He draws on a mix of evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based techniques, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailoring methods to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. His practice emphasizes listening and understanding first, helping people uncover their own solutions while offering guidance and structure when it is needed. William approaches change with encouragement and practical steps, and he aims to meet clients where they are in their process.

Outside of clinical work he balances family life with young children and spends his remaining free time reading, playing video games, and enjoying board games. He looks forward to getting to know prospective clients and supporting them as they work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with William

William integrates several practical therapies to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and self-compassion to help manage emotions, improve sleep, and support coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change, useful for issues like substance use, habit change, and engagement in therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and William works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts interventions over time so treatment remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while still working with a licensed professional toward meaningful change.
