How Richard's methods translate to online sessions
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical work. One common approach is skills-based coaching for attention and focus, which breaks tasks into manageable steps and tests simple routines to improve concentration and memory. Another approach is short-term problem-solving for anxiety and stress, which identifies triggers, practices coping techniques, and builds brief action plans to reduce overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will review your goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit your needs. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as you see what helps you most.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten the time commitment for check-ins, or allow for phone rather than video when that better suits a person's routine. Many licensed professionals use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to work around work, family, or health-related scheduling constraints.
