Richard Orona, LPC

Richard Orona is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, goal-oriented work to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address relationship struggles including jealousy. His style is straightforward and solution-focused, aiming to help clients make concrete changes they can keep.

He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts that feed difficult feelings and behaviors. He also uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. In sessions he typically combines these ideas with structured, short-term techniques to create a clear plan for progress.

Richard has worked in counseling agencies and independent practice, where he has supported people facing depression, grief, addiction concerns, parenting strain, family conflict, and sleep problems. He also helps with issues such as abandonment, blended family challenges, commitment and communication problems, and struggles tied to family of origin.

Clients can expect a mix of assessment, skill building, and practical homework. Richard aims to teach tools for emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem so improvements hold outside of sessions. He emphasizes collaboration and measurable steps toward the client’s goals.

Sessions are offered in English and held with consideration for each person’s schedule. Richard encourages people to bring specific concerns and to be ready to try small changes between sessions. His approach suits those who want clear strategies and steady progress.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that formed early in life and how they show up now. In online sessions this can mean talking through attachment history and practicing new ways of connecting and regulating emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing the thoughts that keep problems going. In remote work it often involves tracking thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Richard will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs and goals. He helps clients decide which techniques to try first and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy arrangements vary. Ask about the session options and scheduling details before booking, and explain what you need to participate comfortably. Agreeing on practical details can help you decide whether the proposed way of working fits your routine and preferences.
