About William

William Weathers is a licensed professional counselor who draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, and ADHD. He earned his masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Auburn University at Montgomery and holds an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor credential (LPC).

William aims for clear, focused sessions that identify small steps clients can try between meetings. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. He uses approaches like Solution Focused Therapy, cognitive therapies, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills and build routines that reduce overwhelm.

Background and approach

People can expect to work on concrete tools for communication, impulsivity, guilt, and social anxiety. William brings three years of professional counseling experience. Before counseling he served as an Army officer for 21 years, which shaped his practical problem solving and attention to structure.

He is based in Alabama and holds the AL LPC number LPC04847. Outside of work he follows college football, fishes, and cares for a small hobby farm. He is married and has four adult children, and he says those life roles influence his perspective on family and parenting concerns.

William offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose what fits their routine. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic goals they can try between sessions.

How William blends therapy techniques with online care

William uses Solution Focused Therapy to keep conversations practical and forward looking. This approach focuses on clear, short-term goals and small steps clients can try between sessions, which can help with parenting challenges, stress, and impulsivity.

He also applies cognitive therapies that look at thoughts and behaviors and teach ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. Those skills can reduce anxiety, depression, and social worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques that help with impulsivity and intense emotions.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. William collaborates with each person to figure out which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they choose strategies and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills in daily life. The flexible options let clients maintain momentum even when life gets busy.
