Telehealth only, currently serving clients located in Ohio.

60-second intro

Video coming soon — a short hello from William Ritt goes here.

This isn't sit-and-process-your-feelings therapy. Well — not only that.

Sessions are goal-focused. We figure out what isn't working, build a plan, and check whether it's actually working. Most weeks you'll leave with something concrete to try, not just a lighter mood.

  • You set the goal. Get the job search unstuck, stop snapping at your kids, sleep through the night, figure out the marriage. We start with what you want different.
  • We track it. A short check-in scale most sessions, so we both know if this is working — not just a feeling that it might be.
  • It's not just talk. Expect tools between sessions: a script for a hard conversation, a way to catch anger before it lands somewhere you regret, a plan for the sleep that's wrecking your week.

What actually happens in a session

Not sure what counseling even involves? Here's the honest, no-jargon version of how this goes from a first call to done.

1

The first call

15 minutes, free. You tell me what's going on and what you want different. I tell you honestly if this is a fit.

2

First few sessions

We map out the problem in detail, set a concrete goal, and start using specific tools — not just talking around it.

3

Ongoing work

Weekly or every other week. Short check-in on what's changed, practice a skill, leave with something to try.

4

Wrapping up

When the goal's met, we space sessions out and stop — not an open-ended commitment.

Sessions draw on approaches with solid evidence behind them — cognitive-behavioral strategies, behavioral activation, and practical skills training — adapted to fit how you actually think and communicate, not a script.

Private pay, with a receipt your insurance might reimburse.

This practice doesn't bill insurance directly. Instead, you pay for sessions yourself and get an itemized receipt — a superbill — that you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

1

Pay for your session

A card on file is charged after each visit. No waiting on insurance to process anything.

2

Get a superbill

An itemized receipt with your diagnosis and service codes, sent automatically after each session.

3

Submit it yourself

Upload it to your insurer's portal, mail it in, or use an app like Mentaya, Reimbursify or Thrizer to submit it for you.

4

Get reimbursed

If your plan has out-of-network mental health benefits, you get a percentage back — after your deductible is met.

Reimbursement isn't guaranteed — it depends on your plan. Before your first session, call the number on the back of your card and ask: "Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits, what's my out-of-network deductible, and what percentage do you reimburse after that?" I'll walk you through this on the consult call if you'd rather not do it alone.

Reading your superbill

  • 1

    Diagnosis code — required for any insurance reimbursement, in-network or out. It goes on your permanent insurance record, which is worth knowing upfront.

  • 2

    CPT code — the standardized code for "what happened." 90837 is a full 60-minute individual session; 90834 is 45 minutes.

  • 3

    NPI & license number — how your insurer verifies I'm a real, licensed provider.

  • 4

    "Paid in full" — you already paid this. The superbill is just documentation to request money back, not a bill.

Questions men usually ask

If yours isn't here, bring it to the free consult.

What exactly is a superbill?

It's an itemized receipt — your diagnosis, the service code, the date and the fee — formatted so your insurance company can process it for out-of-network reimbursement. You submit it; I don't bill your insurer directly.

Why not just take insurance?

Going private-pay means no diagnosis requirements dictated by a panel, no session limits set by a claims reviewer, and a lot less overhead — which keeps rates predictable and scheduling flexible. The trade-off is that you're responsible for submitting the superbill yourself if you want reimbursement.

Is telehealth actually as effective as in-person?

For most of what shows up here — stress, anger, relationship strain, depression, anxiety — research finds telehealth counseling gets comparable results to in-person. It also means no commute and no waiting room.

I've never done therapy before. What's the first session like?

The free 15-minute call is just to see if it's a fit — what's going on, what you want different, and how I work. If we move forward, the first full session is mostly getting the picture: what's happening, what you've already tried, and what a useful outcome looks like to you.

Is this confidential?

Yes, with the standard exceptions any licensed clinician follows — risk of serious harm to yourself or someone else, or abuse of a child or vulnerable adult. I'll walk through this clearly before we start.

Who do you work with?

Adult men, 18 and up, individual sessions, currently located in Ohio. If you're outside Ohio or looking for couples or family work, I can point you toward a referral.
