About William

William Alkhoury is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Arizona with nine years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and help with major life changes. He also lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas.

William draws on meaning-centered and existential perspectives to help people ask practical questions about purpose and direction. Sessions often involve talking through what feels empty or stuck and identifying small, concrete steps that relate to values and everyday life. He uses accessible language and keeps conversation focused on decisions people can try between meetings.

His approach also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools when they fit a client’s needs. That can mean noticing thought patterns that increase worry, testing out new behaviors in real situations, and practicing acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with uncomfortable feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used at times for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

William brings nine years of behavioral health experience in the Phoenix area into sessions. He frames work as a collaborative process - figuring out which methods suit the person and adjusting as progress or obstacles appear. He asks straightforward questions and sets small goals so changes feel manageable.

Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options through the platform's matching and scheduling tools.

How approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to notice thoughts and practice value-based actions between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; online meetings can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and planning exposures for social situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and tolerating distress, and these skills can be taught and practiced across sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the first few meetings. William will work with the client to try methods, see what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps narrow which techniques to emphasize over time.

The platform asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a session, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, or sessions without travel time. It also lets the therapist and client practice behavioral steps that connect directly to the client's daily routines.
