About
William Perks, LICSW, LISW-CP, brings forty years of clinical involvement to a practice that emphasizes practical tools and resource access. He curates informational material on multiple platforms, including a YouTube channel titled "journey associates" and several Facebook groups organized around topics such as bereavement, ADHD, family issues, and self-development. His profile lists a wide range of specialties, from stress and anxiety to trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and grief.
Perks describes a structured option called "I AM READY," an eight-session intensive that can be paused after four sessions if the fit is not right. He frames his work as a guided review of thoughts, behaviors, history, beliefs, values, and goals to increase awareness of options and resources. He emphasizes presenting information, activities, skills, and tools that clients may choose to apply in daily life.
His approach integrates several named clinical methods, and he offers a conversation about qualifications, style, and specializations before and during an initial meeting. Contact options and more detailed materials are available through his described online channels and by email inquiry.

Remote work that combines skills and reflection
William Perks uses several established approaches to structure remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is described as a way to clarify values and develop actions aligned with those priorities, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on examining thoughts and behaviors to identify practical strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness-informed methods are used to introduce emotion regulation and present-moment skills in accessible language.
Those who prefer an explicit blend of skills practice and reflective exploration may find this approach fitting. Perks outlines a collaborative process that reviews history, beliefs, and goals alongside skill-building, allowing a client to shape the balance between structured exercises and open discussion. He also offers a defined eight-session intensive option for concentrated work.
Remote sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, enabling a range of communication styles for ongoing collaboration.
