About William
William Kearns is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with ten years of practice. He focuses on addictions, relationship difficulties, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting. He works in English and concentrates on practical help that people can use in daily life.
He uses a client-centered style that treats the person as the expert of their own story. Sessions tend to focus on the client’s strengths and what is working, then build from there. He also uses solution-focused work to identify concrete next steps that can reduce immediate stressors and improve communication at home.
William helps people sort through issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care challenges, and codependency. He also addresses medical-related stress like cancer caregiving and chronic pain, plus relationship problems including commitment and communication difficulties.
When trauma or domestic violence are involved, he aims to provide steady, practical support and clear steps for safety and coping. He does not offer chat or texting therapy formats, so sessions are structured conversations rather than ongoing messaging.
People who prefer straightforward, goal-oriented sessions are likely to find his approach useful. He asks about real-life constraints and helps shape plans that fit work, parenting, and daily routines.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist mirrors concerns, helps clarify what matters most, and supports the client in choosing next steps. This approach is useful for people who want a person-focused conversation about their priorities.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable changes. Sessions identify clear short-term goals and practical actions to try between meetings. That work is helpful for communication problems, commitment issues, and immediate relationship or parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. William will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend which methods to emphasize. The client and therapist decide collaboratively what to try and adjust as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific session formats, and it notes that chat or texting therapy is not provided. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know whether sessions are by video or phone. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so conversations can happen around work or parenting schedules.
