Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a respectful, non-directive environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. This approach helps with issues such as grief, anxiety, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem by encouraging exploration of feelings and values at the client’s own pace. Richard also uses an integrative touch to adapt core principles to each person's situation, combining listening with practical strategies to address motivation, anger and everyday stressors.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Richard works together with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences, adjusting the style and pace as the work develops to ensure the therapy remains relevant and helpful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or on the go, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists to make meaningful progress.
