Getting to know Dean Williams

Dean Williams specializes in supporting clients facing challenges such as anxiety, insomnia, grief, career transitions, and relationship struggles. When it comes to relationships, Dean frequently helps clients with anger management, impulse control, and improving boundaries and communication. Dean’s therapeutic approach combines exploring emotions, changing thought and behavior patterns, and identifying strengths to foster personal growth. His primary therapeutic modality is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a research-supported approach designed to help clients accept and address psychological or external barriers while committing to living a life aligned with their values. Dean often integrates the workbook "Reclaim Your Life: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy in 7 Weeks" by Carissa Gustafson into his sessions to provide clients with practical tools for their journey. While feeling better is often the initial goal for many clients, Dean emphasizes that ACT focuses on cultivating meaningful changes and life-long skills. Improvement in emotional well-being naturally emerges as clients apply ACT strategies to their daily lives. Dean’s sessions are tailored to include warm, engaging conversations—balanced with humor—while staying focused on skill development. Whether exploring real-life examples or diving into workbook exercises, Dean ensures each session is a step toward a richer, more fulfilling life. Licensed in both Oregon and California, Dean began his journey as a therapist at age 50 and brings nearly two decades of experience to his practice. Now semi-retired at 68, he continues to find immense satisfaction in helping clients acquire the tools they need to thrive and achieve lasting personal growth.
