Background and approach
That view guides steps people can try between sessions. He also emphasizes basic daily habits: sleep, activity, nutrition, and exercise, and helps people build routines that support mental and emotional balance. Sessions are conversational and collaborative.
He listens for what matters most and then brings in tools from several approaches, including mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques. The work often includes practicing new ways of thinking and behaving, and noticing what changes in everyday life. Over his career he has worked in settings across Wisconsin and brings a broad perspective to multicultural and identity-related concerns.
He also supports people facing end-of-life, aging, immigration, and process addiction issues, helping them focus on practical steps and meaningful goals. Richard aims to help people find footing during hard times and build habits that sustain longer-term wellbeing. He invites questions and looks for straightforward ways to help people cope and move forward.
How Richard’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that matter. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm in day-to-day moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard treats the choice of method as a team decision. He listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests practices to try together and adjusts them based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing accountability between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
