About William

William "Bill" Blundell brings 17 years of clinical experience as an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) to his work with adults facing a wide range of life challenges. He has maintained licensure in Illinois since 2010 and earlier held an LPC credential.

Background and approach

In addition to clinical practice, Bill teaches counseling courses at Bradley University and works in the probation field, roles that inform his practical, skills-focused approach to therapy. Bill describes a relaxed, open-minded counseling style that emphasizes listening without judgment and using humor when appropriate.

He has a lengthy background helping people with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and addictions, and he has spent extra time learning about obsessive-compulsive issues. His practice integrates evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness alongside acceptance-oriented and motivational techniques to help clients set goals and build sustainable change.

Clients can expect a collaborative stance where the therapist supports their autonomy and helps them develop the skills they want to use. Bill offers services via multiple online formats and works to match interventions to each person’s needs while honoring their values and life circumstances.

Evidence-based Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and then develops practical strategies to change those patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday difficulties where skills and restructuring are helpful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify values, learn to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, and focus on committed action toward a meaningful life. This approach can support coping with chronic stress, grief, or ongoing mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship conflicts, and elements of it are used when emotional stability and coping skills are priorities.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to discuss goals, preferences, and life context and then tailor methods from these evidence-based frameworks rather than prescribing a single technique up front. This allows therapy to evolve as needs change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on goals into busy lives and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult, while still allowing licensed professionals to guide skill development and problem solving.
