William Russell, LCSW

William Russell is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and depression. He focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques that target unhelpful thought patterns and build day-to-day coping skills. William emphasizes strengths and personal choice while supporting clients through difficult events and transitions.

He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people live according to their values, even when feelings are painful. Existential perspectives inform conversations about life purpose and personal meaning.

William has experience working with people affected by trauma, including post-traumatic stress, and assists those dealing with workplace strain, social anxiety, and relationship communication problems. He helps clients address guilt, shame, and attachment concerns while building resilience for future stressors.

Sessions typically focus on clear, achievable goals. Expect practical exercises, thought tracking, and small behavioral experiments between meetings. The aim is steady progress you can notice in daily life rather than abstract theory.

He practices in Utah and meets people in English. To begin, clients follow the site intake to match and schedule sessions. William approaches each person as an active partner in shaping their path forward.
