More about William
- 11 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of Missouri, and I have been practicing for six years. I typically work with adolescents and adults, and I have experience treating a broad range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, spiritual crises, organizational skills and goals, communication, and relationships. I also have experience with grief and trauma, as well as abuse. Finally, I have also worked with couples and pre-marital counseling.
I utilize multiple different approaches, depending upon the context and the client's specific needs. For instance, I often utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, logotherapy, narrative therapy, and existential approaches. I appreciate the complexity of individual's and the variability each person's unique set of circumstances bring to the table. Hence, my approach reflects these observations, as I aim to avoid over-simplistic or reductionist views of people and their concerns.
Life can easily become overwhelming, as our daily experiences present us with a staggering amount of complexity and stress. It's not reasonable to assume that we can, or even should, handle these things on our own. We are social creatures, and thriving in the world requires us to take hold of those who have extended themselves to us. That is what it means to make the choice to speak to a counselor. It is the acceptance of an invitation to walk together, with someone, through a season of life. It is one of the most human things we can do.
I greatly anticipate walking alongside you, as you take the first steps to address and overcome the obstacles in your path.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

William has been awesome!! He helps me talk through a lot of my own confusion and I also don’t ever feel like it’s a one way conversation. 10/10 would recommend!
William listens, cares, and provides valuable insight.
William is a fantastic therapist and a great person in general. I like his logical and scientific approach to the human brain and why we think the way we do. He also has a unique ability to add in scripture and faith in a way that makes sense to me. I feel truly blessed to have been matched with William and look forward to continuing our conversations.
Wonderful therapist. So encouraging to me! I love his knowledge of scripture and how he helps me understand how it applies to my situation. Highly recommend.
William has been one of the biggest blessings to my life at a point where I felt lost and hopeless. His wisdom is amazing. He cares and he knows exactly how to help you help yourself. I really appreciate him.
William is spectacular! He is very present in sessions and in chats and is intentional with communicating in ways that work for you. William gets to know you as a person and what drives you, to create a baseline and build from there!
My therapist has been very supportive. He listens and offers real applicable solutions. He checks in and offers multiple approaches to challenges. 10 out 10 recommend him!
William Wilson is an amazing therapist! He has really helped me work through my grief from losing my father and a relationship I was in that was emotionally abusive. With him I’ve been able to process a lot of my feelings and feel validated, seen, heard, respected, and feel like I am much better adapted and equipped to deal with my life now. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!
William is fantastic! He met all of my survey criteria for what I was looking for in a therapist so that's a huge part of it but on top of that he's objective, personable, gives me great insights and information. He breaks things down (for me as a Christian) in spiritual terms and contrasts how the same things would be viewed through a spiritual lens as well as secularly which provides framework and balance around certain concepts which I think is awesome. He remains objective where needed and also gives genuine opinions when requested which I like. He has overall been a major help for me during a difficult time in my life. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!
Great therapist who understands the need :)
William has impressed me with his depth of understanding and his ability to present information from a variety of viewpoints with minimal bias. He's also very supportive and non-judgemental. 10/10 if I need to come back for more therapy, I'll be asking for him again.
10/10- best counselor I’ve ever had. I feel blessed
William is a wonderful therapist and helped me to think about my problems in new ways. I've grown so much with his help.
Amazing.
Caring, compassionate, capable
Billy is simply the best. He is very supportive and has by far been my best experience with CBT. He helps frame and cultivate a positive mindset.
He’s thoughtful, intelligent, insightful and has helped me tremendously
Billy helped me through one of the hardest times of my life and I will forever be grateful to him. He is not only my counselor but a friend. I never thought I could feel so safe when talking to someone. He has a true gift and would recommend you give this a shot if you’re reading this! This is your sign!
A true gem.
He’s great!
He has made me realize more than I've probably realized yet.
William was great! He was able to relate to a lot of issues we discussed, so it gave me some real time advice to apply to myself. He was very attentive and really helped me. I look forward to speaking with him again soon!
Billy is an extremely intelligent and thorough professional. He has helped me in so many ways and makes me feel like I’m speaking with a friend. I am so thankful that I found him on the BetterHelp app!
Super handy, and wonderful counselors available!
I have had a great experience so far and would recommend him to anyone!
William is a kind-hearted, gentle therapist, who will lead you down paths you were not sure you could take. His gentle, friendly approach to therapy leads you to truly feel like he cares about you, your goals, your dreams, and your past traumas. I cannot recommend William enough for basically anyone who wants to explore themselves, their relationships, and their traumas.
He is so encouraging and helpful. We have great conversations and he lets me figure things out by myself. I have learned so much from him!
William is very easy to talk to and understanding about my issues. I have enjoyed having him as my couselor and have gained a lot of insight that has helped me.
William is great at what he does. I was hesitant to talk to a male councilor because I feel more comfortable expressing myself to a woman. I think it was a pride thing. But William made it easy for me to talk and be open and make steps forward, not backwards.
Good and epic
He’s real. That’s a rare find.
William has been amazing to work with & I am so glad I got paired with him. He has a knack for hearing what I’m trying to say and just being a comforting, solid support.
Simply stated: Billy is a rock star. He continues to save my life, week after week, year after year. I have spent countless hours for over half of my life, trying to find the right therapist for me. For the last 5 years, he has given me more support than any human that has come into my life. If more people in this world behaved like him, I just know this world would be a better, kinder, accepting and critical thinking place. A million thank you's for putting up with my chaos for all these years. You truly are a blessing.
Very understanding and kind! He listens and remembers things for the next session to follow up on and spend any extra time or more detail. Helpful and understands how I process and go through different emotions and challenges so he can better help me think through them.
I appreciate his varied background and expertise with counseling. He’s a good listener and gives me plenty of practical tips.
I’d recommend him to anyone who needs help and counseling. He’s been a great help to me on a daily basis.
William is very knowledgeable and is very easy to communicate with.
William has been exceptional and has helped me through a dark time. He is great at checking in with me and provides very timely, thorough responses!
Enjoyed my counseling with Mr. Wilson.
