William Russell

William Russell is an LCSW who combines evidence-based therapies with philosophical perspectives to support people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. Over eight years of clinical practice, he has built a framework that emphasizes changing unhelpful thought patterns while also attending to meaning, values, and resilience. He is certified in cognitive processing therapy for post-traumatic stress and integrates cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based methods into his work.

His practice addresses a range of concerns including self esteem, attachment difficulties, communication challenges, and issues around guilt, shame, and life purpose. He also brings experience supporting military personnel and first responders as they navigate career shifts or occupational traumas. William focuses on helping people craft personal narratives that reflect intentional choice and strengthened coping skills.

Clients can expect an approach that draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and commitment strategies and existential inquiry. These elements are used to explore patterns that maintain distress, identify actionable changes, and clarify values that guide next steps. William holds a Utah LCSW license and conducts work from that perspective.
