William "Bill" Blundell

William “Bill” Blundell is a state-licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with 17 years of experience. He has held clinical-level licensure since 2010 and maintained professional counselor licensure beginning in 2007.

Alongside his clinical work, Bill serves as an adjunct professor in the counseling program at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where he teaches courses on substance abuse, grief and loss, and human growth and development. Since 2018 he has also worked in the field of probation, and he continues to refine his counseling skills through teaching and consulting.

Much of his career has focused on supporting people facing depression, anxiety, stress, anger management, relationship difficulties, and a variety of everyday challenges. He has devoted additional time to learning about obsessive-compulsive disorder and remains hopeful about assisting clients with OCD, while acknowledging that exposure-based approaches - a common component of OCD treatment - can be difficult to carry out through an online platform.

Bill is open-minded and nonjudgmental, committed to meeting clients where they are emotionally and mentally. He describes his approach as laid-back and values a sense of humor as part of the therapeutic process. He does not aim to tell people how to live their lives; instead, he supports clients in making the changes they want to see.

Anyone considering counseling is encouraged to continue the search for the right fit, even if they do not choose him. If clients decide to work with Bill, he will focus on helping them feel heard and on facilitating both short- and long-term changes. He looks forward to working with prospective clients.
