Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Richard Robinson uses client-centered therapy to create a space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and support for each person's own goals, and it can be helpful for people exploring identity, relationships, or life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance and change strategies and teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Richard works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to offer feedback and shape the focus of sessions so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Richard is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working on recovery, communication, emotional skills, and personal growth.
