About Richard
Richard "Rich" Yeager, LPC, focuses on stress and anxiety alongside relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He speaks plainly and offers direct support for people who are exhausted from pretending they are fine. Rich aims to help those who feel stuck, worn out, or overwhelmed by emotional pain and relationship patterns.
Rich brings ten years of clinical experience from his work in Colorado. He listens for the ways past hurt shows up now, and helps clients name patterns like people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, or repeating unhealthy relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on honest conversation and practical next steps. His approach blends clinical methods with what he calls inner work, addressing trauma recovery, boundary setting, and repairing how people relate. He guides people through processing painful memories and rebuilding healthier emotional responses.
The goal is clearer communication, stronger self-worth, and fewer automatic reactions. Rich works with individuals who want to stop merely surviving and begin making different choices. He helps with rebuilding after difficult relationships, managing persistent anxiety, and finding emotional clarity.
Progress is shaped around goals the client sets and small steps that fit day-to-day life. People can expect a direct but compassionate style. Therapy sessions include talk, skill-building, and practical exercises to try between meetings.
Rich encourages honest feedback so work stays relevant and effective.
Ways of working online with practical approaches
Rich uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on change and healing. One approach emphasizes trauma processing and emotion regulation to help reduce the impact of past abuse or painful experiences on daily life. This work helps people understand triggers and learn skills to feel steadier in relationships and reactions.Another approach centers on building healthy boundaries and improving communication. That method focuses on clear, actionable steps for saying no, expressing needs, and stopping people-pleasing patterns. It’s useful for relationship strain, commitment issues, and recovering self-worth after difficult partnerships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they review what’s helping and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy lets people connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and longer work, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent therapy and to practice skills when life is busy.
