As noted by award-winning and nationally recognized television and radio host Jim Masters (of PBS and Close-Up Talk Radio), "effective therapy requires a combination of compassion, skill set, and education level, as well as a safe environment in order for clients to share their feelings", and "nowhere is that more true than with Bill Dougherty." Furthermore, Masters points out that Dougherty "provides a client-centered approach...and I love it when I hear that phrase, client centered, it's about you, not one size fits all, it's tailored to you". I provide services in both PA (office or Telehealth) and New Jersey (Telehealth only).
I look to my clients to be the experts of themselves in order to guide the therapy. What I offer is insight as a catalyst for change. With a background in English literature, I bring a decidedly post-modern perspective to my therapeutic approach. I provide techniques that address core beliefs and intrusive thoughts that trigger many conditions effectively.
I look forward to connecting with you to help overcome any challenges you may be facing. Feel free to contact me by phone, email, or visit my website to schedule an appointment. Additionally, major insurances are accepted, and you can verify your insurance authorization on the website as well. Please call with any question you may have.

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, or addictions that impact their relationships, family or work life balance. During our initial sessions, we'll take time to understand what's been happening and develop a personalized plan for change. Many clients begin to feel relief within the first month and see steady progress over time.

In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts shape your emotions and learn ways to challenge unhelpful patterns. Through Narrative Therapy, we'll explore your story and create new perspectives for growth.
