Online support
How his approaches translate to online care
Richard uses Existential Therapy to help people confront questions about meaning, responsibility, and life direction. That approach invites honest conversation about values and helps people make choices that fit who they want to be.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk things through at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are employed to identify and change thinking patterns that drive unhelpful behavior and mood symptoms.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. He will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting as you learn what helps most. The aim is collaboration so you can build tools that work in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, flexible scheduling, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
