About William

William Alkhoury is an LPC counselor based in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He also focuses on aging and geriatric issues and related concerns like isolation, guilt, and questions about life purpose. He uses clear, direct conversation to help people name what feels off and decide what to try next.

He blends meaning-centered and existential ideas with practical skills from cognitive and behavioral approaches. Sessions often look at daily patterns, painful thoughts, and values people want to live by. William draws on mindfulness and techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to offer both reflection and tools people can use between meetings.

His style is thoughtful and curious, with room for big questions about purpose alongside concrete coping strategies. He pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and how small changes can reduce distress day to day. People can expect an approach that balances exploration with skills practice.

William has nine years of experience in behavioral health and holds an Arizona licensed professional counselor credential - LPC. He speaks English and works from Arizona, bringing a focus on meaning and practical change to issues such as panic, obsessive thinking, personality concerns, trauma, and social anxiety.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life feels empty or directionless. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than applying a single method from the start.

The original biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT tools to remote sessions so the focus stays on practical steps and meaningful conversation.
