About Richard
Richard McCune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and related concerns. He writes and listens in a straightforward way to help people cope with worrying thoughts, sleep problems, mood swings, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Richard uses a mix of calming practices, mindfulness, person-centered listening, and cognitive techniques.
Sessions emphasize practical skills you can try between meetings, such as relaxation exercises and simple thinking strategies.
Background and approach
He also pays attention to physical symptoms and spiritual concerns when they matter to the person in front of him. People come to talk about things like bipolar mood changes, grief and loss, chronic pain or illness, and the strain of major life events such as separation or disaster.
He also supports concerns around communication, control issues, guilt and shame, infidelity, and midlife challenges. Richard has eight years of clinical experience and works with adults facing these kinds of problems. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, but paced by the client.
The aim is to build coping tools and clearer thinking so daily life becomes easier. Online and remote options are available, and Richard works with people in English. He frames therapy as a step-by-step process where small changes add up over time.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Richard uses evidence-based techniques such as mindfulness-based practices and cognitive behavior approaches. Mindfulness-based practices teach simple breathing and awareness exercises that reduce stress and help with sleep. Cognitive behavior approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change how those thoughts affect mood and behavior.These methods are explained in plain terms and adapted to each person's needs. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client talk about goals, try different tools, and adjust what they do based on what helps most. The aim is to build workable skills rather than rely on any single technique.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports real-time short check-ins, and text messaging can be useful for brief updates or reminders. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to continue work when in-person meetings are not possible.
