About Richard

Richard Williams is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. He offers straightforward, practical support and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Richard draws on a mix of talk-based and action-oriented approaches to meet people where they are.

He brings personal familiarity with military culture and first responder experiences from his long service background.

Background and approach

That perspective informs how he listens and asks questions about safety, routine, and purpose. Richard keeps sessions simple and direct, focusing on what the person wants to change next. Richard blends Client-Centered techniques with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential perspectives to help people clarify values and reshape unhelpful thinking.

He also uses EMDR for trauma work when appropriate and integrates mindfulness strategies to calm the body and attention. Sessions often move between reflecting on meaning and practicing concrete skills. People can expect a calm, nonjudgmental tone and clear steps to try between sessions.

He helps clients set realistic goals, notice progress, and adapt plans when needed. His style is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Richard has three years of post-licensure experience as an LMHC in Florida.

He speaks English and offers multiple remote session formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choices, and what matters most. Online sessions can use these conversations to clarify values and set goals for daily life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s lead, which translates well to video or phone sessions where time is given to speak and be heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then practices new habits. CBT works well online because skills and worksheets can be reviewed together during a call or shared electronically between sessions. The therapist will explain techniques and adapt practice to fit each person’s routine.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing reflective conversations with skill-building exercises or trauma-focused work depending on what the client wants.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
