How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say, and helps you explore feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers simple exercises to try between sessions to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication in tense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adapts tools as needed and checks in regularly so the plan evolves with your progress.

Session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written exercises or skills practice between meetings, which can help apply what is discussed in everyday life.
