About Richard

Richard McCune, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, bipolar disorder, and depression. He emphasizes practical steps and calm breathing exercises to help reduce immediate overwhelm. He welcomes people from all backgrounds and brings a steady, veteran perspective to sessions.

Richard uses a mix of approaches in his work. He offers relaxing techniques and guided mindful meditation to lower tension. He also draws on person-centered methods that follow the client’s pace and on cognitive behavior therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

His practice considers the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. That means conversations about coping skills, grief and loss, or how physical pain affects mood. He often includes strategies people can try between sessions to build small wins over time.

Richard has eight years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. He is based in New Jersey and has experience working with people who identify as veterans. That background can shape how he listens and what practical steps he suggests.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Richard uses cognitive behavior therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on small, practical experiments and new ways of thinking that can reduce symptoms over time.

He also incorporates person-centered methods, which means sessions follow the client's lead and focus on being heard and understood. That approach is useful when someone needs space to process trauma, grief, or major life changes.

Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a shared process that can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow people who live far from New Jersey or who are traveling to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals.
