Background and approach

He has worked with adults who face difficult emotional and behavioral challenges. He brings long experience to common concerns like depression, grief, addiction, and problems with sleep or eating. He uses a mix of client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches.

That means he starts by listening carefully to what matters to each person, then shows concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain. In practical terms, sessions focus on clear goals.

People can expect to talk through what’s most urgent, try small behavior changes, and reflect on what’s working. He also uses motivational techniques to support commitment when change feels hard. Dr.

Richmond practices in Pennsylvania as a PA Psychologist PS005061L. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He aims to make therapy accessible while helping people build tools they can use outside sessions.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Dr. Richmond blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in a way that translates well to online sessions. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses small experiments and behavior changes to reduce symptoms and build new habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will ask about your priorities, try techniques that match your goals, and adjust the plan as you progress. That way the methods match your needs rather than the other way around.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching practical exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into workdays, travel, or different routines while keeping the focus on steady progress.
