About Richard
Richard Rodgers is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with ten years of experience in mental health and addiction care. He began his work after serving in the Army National Guard and has since focused on helping people manage addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. Sessions address practical life problems such as sleep difficulties, anger, parenting stress, relationship strain, and career changes.
He draws on several established methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered approaches. In practice he mixes talking, skill building, and behavioral experiments to help people notice patterns and try different responses. That can mean working on boundaries, coping strategies, or managing emotional reactions in day-to-day situations.
Richard’s background spans inpatient and outpatient settings and includes military-focused work that led him into addiction treatment. He has worked with people facing grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and complex co-occurring problems. He also helps clients who are exploring attachment or family of origin issues and how those patterns affect adult relationships and parenting.
In sessions he aims for clear, practical steps alongside space to talk. That might include practicing grounding or distress-tolerance skills, learning new communication habits, or planning manageable changes at home and work. He encourages collaboration on goals and checks what’s working as therapy progresses.
Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and scheduling options to pick what fits their routine.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and closeness, which can help with family of origin concerns and intimacy-related issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusting plans based on progress and preferences. The decision is practical and goal-focused rather than fixed in advance.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use a mix of talk, worksheets, behavioral experiments, and skills practice that transfer to everyday life, and he will help adapt those tools so they fit a client's schedule and goals.
