About
William Russell, LCSW, builds therapy around the idea that people already carry important strengths and insights, even when stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma make those resources hard to access. His work centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques designed to get to the core of what is keeping someone stuck, rather than focusing only on short-term coping tools.
He frequently draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop more workable ways of responding to challenges. He also integrates principles influenced by Stoicism, emphasizing resilience and acceptance, along with an Existential perspective that supports clients in clarifying values, creating meaning, and making intentional choices about the direction of their lives.
William is certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy for post-traumatic stress, and he brings experience with cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and existential therapies for depression and anxiety. He is also trained and experienced in supporting military members and first responders, including those navigating life or career transitions and the impact of occupational stressors and trauma.

Evidence-Based Tools, Meaning, and Flexibility Online
William Russell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients move beyond surface-level coping and work directly with the patterns that keep stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions going.One approach he draws on is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, then practicing new ways of thinking and responding that better support daily life and long-term goals.
He is also certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, a structured approach often used for post-traumatic stress. It helps clients examine and shift stuck beliefs connected to traumatic experiences in a way that supports forward movement. In addition, an Existential lens can help clients clarify values, build a sense of purpose, and make intentional choices during transitions and uncertain seasons of life.
