About Richard

Background and approach
Richard aims to create a calm space for people to sort through what matters most to them. His work draws on Existential ideas about meaning and choice alongside acceptance and behavior-focused tools. That blend helps people weigh their values and build skills to manage hard feelings.
He uses plain language and straightforward exercises rather than jargon-heavy explanations. Richard has about 10 years of professional experience as an LPC in Virginia. He centers the relationship and tailors sessions to the goals each person brings.
He encourages realistic steps that fit into everyday life rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Approach and access for online therapy
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility in a person’s life. It helps when someone feels lost, overwhelmed by change, or is questioning what matters to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts while building actions tied to personal values, which can help with anxiety and addictions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect present connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend an approach or mix of methods. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible options for fitting sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support, or people who prefer written check-ins. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to choose what matches each person's schedule and comfort.
