About Richard

Richard Broach is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 25 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

He offers care informed by multiple evidence-based approaches, and he works with clients navigating LGBT issues, coping with life changes, and a range of related concerns such as immigration issues, multicultural challenges, and process addictions. Broach emphasizes a holistic view of difficulties, helping clients examine how sleep, activity, nutrition, and exercise interact with relationships, work, and past experiences.

He encourages development of a balanced lifestyle alongside therapeutic work so clients can build practical coping skills and sustainable routines. His background includes training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, emotionally focused, client-centered, and narrative approaches, which he blends to match each person’s needs.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Richard frames therapy as a collaborative process that seeks to uncover personal strengths and clarify life purpose while addressing practical and emotional challenges in a way that fits each client’s preferences and circumstances.

Online approaches that support practical change

Richard integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered principles to address thoughts, emotions, and values in everyday life. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching skills to shift them, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present, which can aid those coping with life transitions and persistent worries. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, creating space for clients to explore their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and Richard collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, circumstances, and comfort level. He adapts techniques over time, combining strategies from different approaches so therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or varying schedules. These formats allow regular contact and different ways to practice skills between sessions, making it easier to apply therapeutic tools in daily life and maintain momentum toward personal goals.
