William Rusnak

William Rusnak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses an attachment-based approach alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. He frames therapy as a shared process, helping people find their own answers when they feel stuck, lost, or helpless. He also notes he can include a Christian and Biblical perspective when it fits the person's needs.

William draws on six years of counseling experience plus earlier careers in defense and telecommunications. He spent six years caring for his wife while she lived with a rare form of dementia, and he speaks from personal experience about caregiving, grief, and starting over. This life experience informs his approach to depression, loss, and major life changes.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He uses attachment work to look at patterns in relationships and combines it with CBT to challenge unhelpful thoughts. DBT ideas are used to build coping skills for intense emotions and stress.

People come to him for anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. He also addresses isolation and loneliness, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. William emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

He is licensed in Texas and Arkansas and practices in Arkansas. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with him based on availability.

Using attachment work and skills-based therapy online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence how people connect with others now. In short sessions the work looks at recurring patterns and aims to help people form healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders by practicing new thinking and behaviors in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people follow a steady plan of practice between sessions, such as homework from CBT or DBT skills practice, which supports progress in daily routines.
