Background and approach
From there he helps people build strategies that ease distress now and offer tools for future problems. His style blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means he pays attention to each person's experience while also helping them test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing when those approaches fit someone’s goals. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused. People can expect to talk through current problems, try exercises in session, and practice new ways of responding between appointments.
The aim is clearer thinking and fewer intense reactions over time. Richmond has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings during his career. He draws on that background when helping people manage complex emotional and behavioral concerns.
He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps the person explore what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort out feelings and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms. CBT works well for stress, mood concerns, and behavior changes.
Motivational interviewing helps people find personal reasons to change. It uses conversational strategies to build motivation and reduce resistance when someone faces addictions, ambivalence about goals, or behavior change struggles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. He may combine approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video gives a near face-to-face experience, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make scheduling easier and let people pick what fits their routine and comfort.
