Richard Reihing, LPCC

Richard Reihing LPCC combines practical therapies with a straightforward style. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, and life changes. He draws on 14 years of experience and his background as a firefighter/paramedic to relate to stress that comes from high-pressure roles.

He uses approaches like cognitive behavioral work and attachment-focused methods to look at how thoughts and relationships affect daily life. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on small, doable steps. The aim is to reduce unhelpful patterns and build clearer ways to cope.

People come to him for a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to relationships such as communication problems, infidelity, and jealousy. He also works with addiction, bipolar challenges, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and struggles around purpose or midlife change.

Richard describes his style as strengths-based. He helps people reframe their story while teaching practical skills for stress, emotion regulation, and problem solving. He often blends client-centered listening with structured techniques to create a plan that fits each person.

In appointments he aims for a relaxed tone and clear next steps. New clients start by sharing the immediate problem and a few goals. From there he helps prioritize what to work on and which strategies to try next.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns that cause distance or mistrust and guides steps toward more stable connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and build practical habits for mood and anxiety management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions in relationships and supports clearer expression and repair of connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan along the way.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, help people check in when leaving work, or reduce travel time. It also allows use of worksheets, brief skills coaching between sessions, and focused conversation about relationship patterns without requiring long preparatory visits. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to suit each person's life and schedule.
