More about me

Licensing: LMFT, MA Years in Practice: 28 State: Arizona

I am Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years experience. I have worked with individuals, couples and families in crisis and those wanting to improve their relationships. I have worked with military families and service members as well as vets. I have extensive experience with PTSD and Combat Stress. I have experience working with Depression, Anxiety and sexual abuse issues. I have extensive experience working with families with special needs children (mostly Autism). I have conducted workshops on Couples Communication and work with couples and families to improve their communication.

I have experience working with Men's issues. I work on teaching men how to avoid domestic violence issues to parenting as a man. I also work to help men co-parent in divorce and separation.

I work from a rational behavioral approach believing that everyone has the ability and can resolve their issues and problems. I believe that a good therapist will not only listen to their clients but will be active in teaching and improving the skills needed to improve your live and happiness.

I look forward to working with you to improve your relationships with yourself, your family and everyone in your life.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr Fenton is great. He is real, no nonsense, does not sugar coat anything and is exactly what I needed. I love how he simplifies things for me to help me understand why and where it's coming from. I enjoy talking to him and always leave our sessions with a better understanding of myself, my thoughts and actions, and most importantly how to use that information to try different ways to better things overall.

Dr. Fenton is a great therapist. He listens and understands your life and experiences, and he empathizes without judging, yet simultaneously, he soothly reminds you that you are in charge of your life, and empowers you to take control of your life. I am happy to have been paired with him and look forward to fixing all my thorns, faults, and vices with his help.

Seriously! He is amazing. He is VERY direct and that is exactly how I want my therapist to be. He listens, he challenges me, he shows me my patterns, he questions me and he helps me change my thought processes. I've seen clinicians in the past, off and on for when I am in sticky situations, and he is one of the best I've ever tried.

Overall

I worked through 3 different therapists on Betterhelp before I got matched with William, but now I feel like I've found my forever-therapist. I love that he challenges me & calls me out (kindly) when I'm falling into my own mental traps. He's there to remind me of my goals & values when I get distracted and to remind me of my unique strengths when I'm too hard on myself. After only a few months of working together, I feel like I now have William on my shoulder, whispering in my ear even outside of therapy... reminding me of my worth & telling me to bring more ease into my life. Whereas other therapists told me what I wanted to hear, William tells me what I need to hear & is a perfect match to my energy. So thankful I found him & can't imagine the last 6 months without his support.

William Fenton has pointed out things about me that i wasnt aware of about myself. i didnt realize i broke so many fair fighting rules. he even taught me to stand my ground in my relationship with my husband without causing another fight. the biggest thing I've learned from william fenton is perception...how to perceive issues appropriately in order to solve issues effectively. my work life and my love life feels less stressful and more manageable. i am definitely keeping william in my life!!
