About Richard
Richard Rodgers uses practical, client-centered methods to help people facing stress, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and he draws on ten years of experience in mental health settings. He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on real-life changes.
Richard began his career after serving in the Army National Guard. That experience shaped his interest in substance use, depression, and post-traumatic stress. He has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has focused much of his practice on addiction and trauma-related issues.
Background and approach
In sessions he listens first, then helps people set clear goals. He blends conversational talk with practical skills from several approaches. That can include learning new ways to respond to stress, building routines that support sleep and mood, and working on communication around intimacy and family concerns.
He supports people coping with grief, burnout, career strain, ADHD, and relationship or parenting stresses. He also helps with anger, self-esteem, and the emotional fallout after abuse or other losses. Richard aims to make therapy useful and approachable so skills apply between sessions.
People who choose him can expect a collaborative plan that fits their life. He encourages small, manageable steps that lead to steady change. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care and flexible formats
Richard uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and teach practical strategies for mood, sleep, and stress problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Richard will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort and priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer, interactive sessions and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or ongoing contact between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible around work, family, and daily life.
