About William
William "Bill" Blundell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 17 years of clinical experience. He brings a relaxed, down-to-earth manner to sessions and aims to provide a nonjudgmental space for people to be heard. Bill has a long history in counseling and related work.
He began as a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2007 and earned his Illinois LCPC in 2010. He also teaches as an adjunct professor in a counseling program, covering topics such as substance abuse, grief and loss, and human growth and development.
Background and approach
Since 2018 he has worked in the field of probation while continuing to teach and consult, which he says keeps his counseling skills sharp. Over his career he has helped many people facing depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship strain, and other everyday struggles. He has spent extra time learning about obsessive-compulsive disorder and how it affects people.
Bill describes his style as laid back and willing to meet people where they are emotionally. He believes humor can be a helpful part of therapy and prefers to work collaboratively, letting clients guide the goals and pace of change. Parents concerned about stress, sleep, parenting pressures, or related issues may find his straightforward, accepting approach useful.
He invites people from varied backgrounds to start a conversation and to explore practical steps toward feeling better.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and flexibility
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that connect to personal values, which can help with issues like anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients shape the pace and focus of work, and the therapist offers guidance and tools along the way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and preferences. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy family and work lives while keeping consistent progress.
