About William
William Teese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. He uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and major life changes. He welcomes adults who want clear steps and tools to manage problems and move forward.
He spent seven years in a residential substance abuse treatment setting, where he helped people with drug and alcohol addiction, mood disorders, and anger management. He also worked on a Special Needs Program for a major medical insurance provider, supporting clients on Medicare and Medicaid to build coping skills and improve daily functioning.
For three years he served as a crisis counselor with Military OneSource, providing short-term support during stressful periods. That experience shaped his ability to respond calmly in tense moments and to focus on practical problem solving. Throughout his work he emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.
William adapts sessions to each person's needs and preferences. He combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and reduce distress over time. He often lays out simple exercises to use between sessions so progress continues outside the room.

How CBT and Mindfulness Translate to Online Sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms. Online sessions can use this approach to set clear goals, practice skills during the week, and review progress together. Mindfulness therapy teaches paying attention to the present moment and calming techniques to ease anxiety and stress; it often involves short exercises practiced in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and what feels workable. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the therapy fits the person's life.
Confirm the platform's session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills between appointments and review homework together, helping progress carry over into everyday routines.
