About Richard

Dr. Richard Tscherne offers a thoughtful, person-focused approach to therapy grounded in Existential ideas. He emphasizes meaning, choice, and presence to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.

Dr. Tscherne practices in New York and brings three years of clinical experience as a NY Psychologist 018844. He keeps sessions direct and practical.

Conversations typically look at what matters most to the person and which choices feel possible.

Background and approach

He uses mindfulness, cognitive tools, and a client-centered stance to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and try new behaviors. Many people come for help with self-esteem, career worries, addiction concerns, or difficulties related to ADHD. Others seek support for body image, chronic illness or pain, isolation, or feelings of emptiness, guilt, and shame.

Sessions aim to identify clear goals and small steps toward them. Dr. Tscherne draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method.

He often combines reflective, meaning-focused work with practical exercises and mindfulness practices. This helps make ideas concrete and usable between sessions. Therapy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.

Existential and Practical Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Tscherne uses Existential Therapy to help people look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. That work asks what matters most to a person and helps them notice how their choices shape everyday life. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening carefully and reflecting what a person is experiencing so they feel heard and understood.

He combines those approaches with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful, using simple exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Each approach is described and then tried together to see what fits. Finding the right mix is part of the work; the therapist and client decide together based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can support short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice new skills in real time.
