William Kearns

William Kearns is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with ten years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with addictions, relationship tensions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting questions. He works from the view that clients know their story best and brings that perspective into sessions.

He emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions look at current problems and past patterns that affect daily life. He listens for strengths clients already have and uses those strengths to build small, manageable changes.

His background includes work with people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, avoidant personality traits, and sex culture topics like BDSM and kink. He also has experience supporting those coping with chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress, chronic pain, and the ripple effects of disaster or separation.

William uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the client brings to each session and to focus on their priorities. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help identify immediate steps that can reduce distress and improve functioning. Together these approaches are practical and goal-aware rather than theoretical.

He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Before booking, confirm current session options so arrangements match your needs.

How his approaches translate to online work

William uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely to what matters to the client. This approach focuses on the client’s priorities and experiences and helps when someone needs to clarify feelings around relationships, parenting, or past hurt. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify immediate, practical steps a person can try between sessions to reduce stress and test small changes.

Finding the best fit is part of the work. He treats approach selection as collaborative and adjusts methods based on the client’s goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. Together they pick which ideas to try and measure whether those steps are helping.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit more easily into a weekday, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when bandwidth is limited. Online work can make it easier to keep regular meetings and to try practical interventions between sessions while managing daily responsibilities.
