About William

William Solari is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses clear, goal-focused therapy to help people facing parenting and family concerns. He draws on methods that aim to reduce stress and anxiety and to improve daily functioning. Sessions are straightforward and practical, with a focus on changes that matter at home and in life.

He holds a master’s degree from the University of North Texas and practices in Texas. William brings five years of clinical experience to his work.

Background and approach

He runs a independent practice called Therapy with Purpose in Frisco where he meets with clients by a range of online formats. In sessions he creates a calm, non-judgmental space. He listens to what is most pressing and then helps build step-by-step plans.

Those plans often include small, doable changes to reduce overwhelm and improve routines like sleep, parenting, and work-life balance. William uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support short-term goals and problem solving.

People who come for help might be dealing with grief, trauma, addiction, attention challenges, depression, or anger. He also addresses career issues, compassion fatigue, and general coping with life changes. William aims for direct, compassionate work that helps people move toward the life they want.

Approaches for online family and parenting support

William commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change routines that affect parenting and family life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attentional and breathing exercises to help calm stress and improve focus during tough moments.

He also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help clients set clear, achievable goals and to build momentum through small wins. Choosing the right approach is a team effort - the therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits real life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule around school, work, and childcare and to continue support between appointments. The variety of session types helps people use therapy in the way that works best for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
