About William
William Alkhoury is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes.

He often begins by listening to what feels empty or confusing in a person’s life.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. William brings a calm, curious style and encourages people to notice what matters to them most.
Background and approach
His approach blends evidence-based techniques with deeper, meaning-focused work. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviors, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and asking questions about purpose and values. This mix is designed to help people cope now and build toward clearer direction.
William has nine years of experience in behavioral health. He draws on several therapeutic methods to meet different needs, including strategies for panic, obsessive thoughts, and trauma-related distress. He also supports people dealing with aging concerns, isolation, and relationship communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. William holds an Arizona LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It helps when worry, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with panic, emotion swings, and relationship communication.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to learn about a client's goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust strategies based on what helps. That way the work stays practical and tailored to each person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections or ongoing processing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
