About Richard
Richard Long is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience based in Florida. He works with individuals and couples who are dealing with relationship strain, anxiety, grief, parenting stress, career questions, and difficult life changes. He commonly supports people facing intimacy concerns, anger, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that come with being LGBT.
Richard tends to be direct in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can take.
Background and approach
He helps clients name what is not working and decide whether to repair, reshape, or end a relationship. When needed he also addresses personal issues that get in the way of better connections. He does not work with addiction, domestic violence, or faith-based issues.
He prefers clients who want to move beyond a steady but unsatisfying status quo and try something different. Together he and the client set a tailored plan that fits that person's goals and life circumstances. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
His background includes licensure in Florida and Georgia as a licensed marriage and family therapist, listed as LMFT. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he acknowledges that courage. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear goals and practical changes. One common approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and stress by teaching skills to manage reactions and daily routines. This helps people who struggle with worry, tension, or overwhelming tasks. Another approach focuses on improving communication and connection in relationships by identifying patterns that keep partners stuck and trying new ways of relating. That work can help with intimacy, conflict, and deciding whether to repair or separate.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals, and tailor methods to your needs and preferences so treatment matches what you want to change. This is a collaborative process designed to fit your situation.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. He provides video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, or busy schedules while using approaches that focus on skills, communication, and practical steps.
