About William
William Teese is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who uses straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anger, and life changes. He blends practical skills with patient listening to help people regain control when emotions feel overwhelming. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and teach simple skills to change reactions.
He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their feelings without acting on them in the moment.
Background and approach
Those tools are applied to concerns such as anxiety, addictive behavior, grief, and workplace stress. William has worked in residential substance abuse treatment and spent time supporting people with complex medical and social needs through a special needs program. He also has experience as a crisis counselor helping people cope with sudden stressful events.
This background influences a pragmatic style that focuses on concrete steps and clear goals. Sessions are tailored to the person and their situation. He aims to match the pace and language to each person's needs, offering skills practice and real-world strategies.
The goal is to leave sessions with at least one clear step to try before the next meeting. William practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English.

CBT and Mindfulness online for real-life challenges
William uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that lead to angry reactions or anxiety. CBT sessions focus on clear steps, such as identifying triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing alternative responses to daily stressors.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that lower reactivity in the moment. Mindfulness exercises are offered as short practices people can use between sessions to manage urges or strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or brief skill practice between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
