About William

Dr. William Keating brings 35 years of clinical experience as a licensed psychologist in Illinois (IL Psychologist 071.001764).

Background and approach

He has focused much of his career on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions, and he also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns as well as ADHD. His approach emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer goals.

Dr. Keating integrates practical, skill-focused methods to help clients manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

He uses evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method to address thinking patterns, communication, and relational dynamics. He views the decision to seek help as an important step and aims to provide steady support while clients build coping skills and pursue more satisfying, resilient ways of living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Keating commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication, managing conflict, and strengthening emotional connection for people addressing relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting strategies over time so the work aligns with what the client finds most helpful and achievable.

Online therapy can make that collaborative work more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats offer scheduling flexibility, the ability to connect from different locations including international arrangements, and multiple ways to engage with therapy between sessions, which can support consistent progress and practical skill building.
