About William
William "Bill" Mcleod is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on clear steps people can use between meetings. Bill aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.
Bill uses approaches that are informed by trauma and tailored to each person’s needs.
How William works
He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thinking and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills to help with intense emotions. He also uses Reality Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when those fit a client’s goals, and he can include faith-based psychotherapy if requested.
Over two decades he has worked with adults facing grief, panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and the fallout from workplace stress or sexual assault. He also spends time with people who struggle with self-esteem, isolation, guilt, and finding life purpose. Bill pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and blended family dynamics.
He describes his style as collaborative and practical. Sessions are conversational and focused on building coping tools, improving communication, and setting realistic steps forward. Humor and empathy are part of his approach when they fit the moment.
Bill is based in Georgia and conducts work in English. He supports older adults with aging and geriatric issues and helps people cope with life changes while honoring their values and strengths.

Online support options
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Bill commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. He also draws on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotional moments. When motivation is a barrier, he applies Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find internal reasons to change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily realities. Together they check what is working and adjust methods over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video can recreate a face-to-face feel, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
