William Rusnak

William Rusnak approaches counseling as a collaborative process that supports learning and growth through life’s challenges. He frames himself as a guide who helps clients navigate difficult paths when they feel stuck, lost, or helpless, focusing on helping them search for answers rather than providing them.

William works from an attachment-based perspective and integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques into treatment. He partners with clients to set counseling goals and develop treatment plans tailored to their situations while acknowledging that outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Before becoming a counselor, William worked in the defense and telecommunications industries. He was married for 25 years and cared for his wife during the final six years of her life after she developed a rare form of dementia, an experience that has informed his understanding of dementia, caregiving, depression, grief, loss, and starting over.

Counseling became William’s third career, though supporting and talking with people has been a lifelong interest. He brings six years of clinical experience to his practice and is licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas (TX LPC 77592) and in Arkansas (AR LPC P2305002). He provides services in Arkansas and can offer a Christian and Biblical perspective when it is requested by a client.
