About Richard
Richard Krebs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and ADHD-related concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions easy to follow for worried parents and busy adults. He has six years of clinical experience and practices from Alabama.
Richard uses practical strategies to help people manage symptoms and move toward their goals. He draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Background and approach
He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take actions that matter to them. For people with trauma or long-held painful memories, he incorporates EMDR-informed techniques to reduce the emotional charge around those memories. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with focus and stress reduction. His background includes work in independent practice and time supporting people in a drug rehabilitation setting, where he helped clients address substance use and co-occurring emotional issues. That range of experience informs his approach to addiction, relapse prevention, and recovery planning.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Richard works with each person to build small, achievable steps that fit daily life. He helps parents, individuals, and young adults navigate communication issues, career stress, and the challenges of major life changes.
How Richard’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are strong; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time, checking in about what is helping and what needs adjustment so treatment remains focused and practical.
Online therapy with him uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or a flexible way to work through brief concerns without scheduling a full call.
