01About William
William Ezzelle is a licensed mental health counselor who brings eight years of experience to his work in Virginia. He holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor credentials and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction. He listens first and builds goals with each person.
Before working in independent practice, he trained in counseling and completed graduate study in the field. His background includes work in varied settings such as shelters and outpatient clinics, where he supported people facing depression, substance use, and trauma.
Background and approach
That variety shapes a practical, no-nonsense approach. In sessions he works collaboratively and treats the client as the expert on their life. He uses client-centered methods to help people set their own goals and find solutions that fit them.
He pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and practice different responses. Mindfulness practices are also part of his toolkit to help people build calm and notice thoughts without getting swept up in them. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas may appear in shorter, goal-directed work to help people move through change.
He has experience with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, LGBT topics, parenting stress, career questions, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, and diverse sexual cultures such as kink and polyamory. He also addresses anger, shame, and multicultural or discrimination-related stressors.
People who prefer a practical, respectful style that emphasizes their own choices often find his way of working helpful. He aims to make sessions straightforward, focused, and connected to real life.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. The therapist helps people set their own goals and chooses ways of working that fit each person's life, which is useful for stress, relationship concerns, and identity issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions use practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and practice different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences guide which methods are used.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is often used for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or other commitments.
