About Richard

His work is based in Arizona and delivered in English. People who choose to work with him are guided through a matching and scheduling process to begin therapy.

Approaches that guide online work
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer communication. One common approach is brief problem-solving work that helps people break large issues into small steps and try concrete actions between sessions. This is useful for stress, decision making during separation, and low mood.Another approach emphasizes communication skills training. That involves practicing how to say things differently, setting boundaries, and rehearsing conversations. It can help with relationship strain, parenting discussions, and repairing trust after conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From that conversation, he and the client choose techniques to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered online, so confirm the platform's current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work through transitions such as divorce and separation while keeping contact flexible.
