About Richard
Richard Rodgers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with complementary approaches to help people move past persistent problems.
Background and approach
He draws on a decade of clinical experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, working alongside clients to address addiction, mood disorders, trauma, and related challenges such as anxiety, grief, and sleep difficulties. His training includes a Master of Social Work and a background in community health, and he frames interventions around practical skills, thoughtful exploration, and achievable goals.
Richard adapts treatment to each person’s needs, incorporating methods that build coping skills and emotional insight. Beyond addiction and PTSD-related concerns, he addresses a wide range of issues including relationship and intimacy difficulties, self-esteem, career concerns, neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, and chronic pain or illness.
He emphasizes collaborative planning so clients can develop resilience and manage life transitions with clearer strategies and support. Clients will find an approach that balances structure and empathy, offering both talk-based work and targeted therapeutic techniques.
Richard lives and practices in Indiana and brings a practical, client-centered orientation to therapy that aims to help people regain a sense of control and forward momentum.
Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy
Richard often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and addiction-related patterns. ACT emphasizes values and mindful acceptance, helping people tolerate difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most, a fit for grief, chronic illness, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve. This joint planning helps tailor sessions so interventions feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with him uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility and greater access to care. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can use a mix of live conversation and written exchanges to reinforce learning and support steady progress.
