About Will
Will is a proponent of men's mental health and fatherhood, and he is particularly committed to supporting individuals reentering society after incarceration. He also addresses issues such as commitment and control challenges, communication problems, divorce and separation, first responder stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, life purpose, midlife transitions, and post-traumatic stress.
Using trauma-informed and trauma-focused approaches, Will creates an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. He collaborates with clients to identify goals and practical strategies that promote growth and resilience. He acknowledges the courage involved in beginning therapy and welcomes the opportunity to assist individuals as they work toward becoming their best selves.
Combining Cognitive Behavioral and Trauma-Focused Care Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and problems with motivation or confidence. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and healing from traumatic experiences, using strategies to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma and support recovery from post-traumatic stress and abuse.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Will works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions explore what is working, what needs adjustment, and how to adapt techniques so they feel useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - appointments can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different rhythms and responsibilities. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor care to each individual.
