About Rick
Rick Clements is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people move forward when life feels out of control. He focuses on building honest connections and practical change. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful.
Rick starts by getting to know each person and asking which struggles matter most to them. He listens for what has led someone to this point - past hurts, relationship patterns, stress, or choices that feel stuck - and then helps set clear, manageable goals.

He stays focused on what will make daily life feel better and more manageable. Over his career he has worked with many concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and ADHD. He also addresses issues like parenting strain, relationship difficulties, sleeping problems, addiction, and career concerns.
He draws on his long experience to tailor practical steps to each person's situation. Rick works with adults who want straightforward help and realistic strategies. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
His approach is collaborative, steady, and rooted in years of clinical work helping people regain a sense of control and purpose.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Rick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns that cause stress and replacing them with concrete habits and coping skills to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Another approach concentrates on processing past hurts and attachment issues so relationship patterns become easier to recognize and change; this helps with grief, trauma, and intimacy concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and daily challenges, then suggest methods that match your needs. Together you can try techniques and adjust the plan if something isn’t working until a good fit is found.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit work on mental health into a busy life. Video calls are useful for full sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and texting allows quick daily support or reminders. These formats give flexibility to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent momentum in treatment.
