About William

William "Bill" Blundell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who has worked in Illinois counseling since 2010 and in the field since 2007. He brings 17 years of experience to his work and balances clinical practice with teaching in a university counseling program. Bill describes himself as open minded and approachable, with a relaxed style and a sense of humor.

He aims to offer a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Background and approach

Bill spends much of his time helping people with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and relationship concerns. He also supports people facing grief, addiction, trauma, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and intimacy-related issues. He has particular experience with OCD and with topics related to adoption, attachment, and sexual subcultures, and he makes an effort to meet clients where they are.

In addition to clinical work, he teaches courses on substance abuse, grief and loss, and human growth and development at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. Since 2018 he has also worked in probation, which has shaped his practical approach to counseling. His classroom and field roles help him keep skills current.

Bill uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He listens first, then works with each person to set realistic steps and goals. He aims to help people build coping skills they can use day to day and over the long term.

Counseling with Bill is collaborative. He does not tell people what to do. Instead he helps them decide what changes they want and supports them in making those changes.

Online support

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made or needs shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you have a face-to-face style meeting from wherever you are; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and days when a quick message fits your schedule. Using these options, people can fit sessions around work, school, or family demands while working with a licensed professional.
