Blending therapeutic approaches for effective online care
Dr. Richmond uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting and attentive space where adults can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach helps people gain clarity about what matters to them and supports emotional processing and healing.
He also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is especially useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges by teaching concrete skills and problem-solving techniques.
Mindfulness therapy is employed to help clients build present-moment awareness and calm, supporting better emotional regulation and reduced reactivity. Mindfulness practices can complement other approaches and are helpful for stress, sleep difficulties, and ongoing emotional distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Richmond works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility and access for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance.
