Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Billy and I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina. I have been working with those facing mental health challenges for 20 years.
I have helped my clients face a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career struggles, interpersonal concerns, LGBTQ issues, as well as grief and loss. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical and emotional trauma.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling utilizing reality therapy techniques to develop goals. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek help for a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I would consider it a great honor to be a part of your journey towards positive change.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Breath of fresh air. I'm excited to continue forward with Billy.
I’ve only just recently started using Better Help. I was a bit nervous at first because I had no idea what it would be like. Starting out I appreciated how accessible Erwin was with messaging, on the phone I felt I was able to talk without judgement but rather have someone who was actually listening to me and helping me understand the situation when I was uncertain. I appreciate all that has been done and am glad I decided to take this step.
William has been excellent he has listened to everything I have said and always helps me get through whatever is going on. This process so far has been outstanding I look forward to my sessions and know that I’m in a safe space.
William is very supportive and responds quickly to my messages.
William is a good listener and always seems to give the correct advice.
