Over the course of his career, William has spent seven years in a residential substance abuse treatment facility, working with concerns such as substance use, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, anger management, and resentment. He most often works with adults ages 18 to 98, an age range where he has developed deep experience and perspective across many seasons of life.
William has also served clients through a major medical insurance provider’s Special Needs Program, helping individuals with Medicare and Medicaid build coping skills aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and quality of life. In addition, he worked for three years as a crisis counselor with Military One Source, assisting people in navigating stressful situations and major life pressures. He approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and tailors the conversation and treatment plan to fit each client’s specific needs and goals.
William Teese, LCSW, draws on practical, skills-based approaches that can be especially useful in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of responding. It is often used to build day-to-day strategies for concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness therapy supports clients in strengthening attention and awareness in the present moment. This can help people relate differently to difficult emotions, manage overwhelm, and create space between a trigger and a reaction, which can be valuable when working through patterns tied to addiction, relationship strain, or ongoing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. William works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and choose tools that fit personal preferences and current needs. The plan can evolve over time as priorities shift and progress is made.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support while balancing work, family responsibilities, or changing schedules.
