I have enjoyed my sessions with Richard. He is a very good listener. It finds my weak areas and that is not easy to do. :-) I also like that he respects and understands my Christians values.

More about Richard

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I believe that many people come to a point in their lives where their circumstances can become overwhelming they could benefit from someone that can be present through their difficult time. I want to be available to listen to people when they are in these hard times and help them find solutions and strategies to get through these times. My professional experience has been with clients that are in very challenging situations and I would like to use that experience to help others live a better life. I primarily operate in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and and Cognitive Behavior Theory. I believe these approaches offer the most comprehensive and efficient solutions in therapy. The training and education that I have received help me be able to help a wide range of issues that many people face.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
