About Fredric
Dr. Fredric Richmond is a licensed psychologist in Pennsylvania with 43 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, trauma, and many life transitions.
He listens carefully and focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier and more able to cope. He trained at Temple University and the University of Michigan and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Background and approach
That background means he is familiar with complex emotional and behavioral difficulties and the kinds of problems that show up over long careers and family lives. In sessions he mixes a client-centered stance with cognitive-behavioral methods. That means he starts by understanding what matters most to the person in front of him, then helps identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
He also uses Existential ideas to address meaning, choice, and the limits people face. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of his toolkit when they fit a person’s needs. Mindfulness practices can help with rumination and sleep, while motivational interviewing can help people who are unsure about change or struggle with addictive behaviors.
His style is straightforward and respectful. He emphasizes listening, clear goals, and steps clients can try between sessions. He encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready and will work with them to find a practical path forward.

Online support
How approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. In practice this means talking about what matters, how life changes affect purpose, and how to make decisions that fit personal values. It can help with grief, career shifts, and feelings of emptiness.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. Sessions center on the person’s experience, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying so clients can better understand their feelings and decide what to try next. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, nonjudgmental space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can ease anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then tailor methods accordingly. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video is good for fuller conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
