Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, with practical skills for emotion regulation, thought patterns, and behavior change woven together with compassionate listening.

Practical approaches for online therapy and coping skills
Richard integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered work to address everyday struggles. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete strategies to change behaviors and reactions, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and many addictive behaviors. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and increased psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult experiences while committing to meaningful steps forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their goals, needs, and preferences. This collaborative stance means approaches may be adjusted as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow ongoing work on skills like mindfulness, emotion regulation, and behavioral experiments without requiring in-person visits, making it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and time zones.
