He has spent over two decades helping people navigate workplace stress, parenting strain, addiction recovery, and relationship breaks. Richard also works with issues like caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and codependency. He aims to create space where clients can reconnect with faith, family, and community when that matters to them.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People can expect an honest, faith-aware conversation along with practical steps to try between meetings. Anyone interested in starting is invited to learn how the process works and what fits their life.
How his approaches translate to online work
Richard uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's story and priorities, listening without judgment and helping clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try specific behavior changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify small, practical steps and build momentum with short-term goals.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Richard will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, blending listening, skills practice, and spiritual reflection when requested.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity during work or caregiving changes. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach CBT exercises, set homework, and monitor progress in between meetings, while still tailoring the process to each person's needs.
