William Teese, LCSW

William Teese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Florida with 25 years of professional experience. He works with adults and older adults on common life stressors such as anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship and workplace problems. He also helps people facing career transitions and age-related concerns.

He spent seven years working at a residential substance abuse treatment facility where he treated substance use issues along with mood and anger concerns. He has experience helping people with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety during that time. He also provided crisis counseling for Military OneSource for three years, responding to high-stress situations and short-term crisis needs.

William has worked with a major medical insurer's Special Needs Program to assist clients on Medicare and Medicaid. In that role he focused on practical coping skills to improve daily functioning and quality of life. He brings that same practical emphasis to ongoing work with clients who want better day-to-day routines and clearer problem-solving strategies.

His approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to interrupt unhelpful thinking and to strengthen attention and emotion regulation. Sessions focus on specific skills, straightforward strategies, and hands-on problem solving. William aims to keep conversations direct and goal-oriented so people leave with things they can try between visits.

He prefers to work with people age 18 to 98 and speaks English. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling tools to set up an initial session and confirm current session options before booking.
