Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Richard Lally

Richard integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist supports personal insight and growth - it is well suited for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and navigating life transitions. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness and acceptance practices that can reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with grief or persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Richard collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, strengths, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive to the client's changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and scheduling. Clients can meet via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for busy lives, travel, or those living outside the therapist's local area. Working remotely with licensed professionals makes consistent care more feasible while still focusing on meaningful progress and skill development.
