Background and approach

His background includes work with veterans and others who have faced hard life events. He aims to listen first, understand each person's story, and build a plan that fits their needs. In sessions he blends talk therapy with a range of methods tailored to each individual.

He uses approaches that emphasize values, relationships, and skills to manage difficult emotions. The goal is to help people build tools they can use between sessions. Richard takes a collaborative stance in therapy.

He helps people set clear goals, practice new behaviors, and check progress over time. He also supports practical concerns like sleep, parenting strain, work stress, and relationship communication. Outside of work he values family time and attending events, which he says helps him stay grounded.

He brings that balance into sessions by focusing on strengths and small, manageable steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act in ways that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It works well for anxiety, sleep problems, and depression.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most, blending ACT, CBT, or other approaches as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide quick access between sessions and can help keep momentum on homework and strategies.
