About Richard
Richard Komm is a licensed psychologist in Arizona with 40 years of experience. He focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anger, and ease anxiety. He treats mood concerns such as depression and bipolar issues and supports people facing trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties.
He uses straightforward conversation combined with methods that have research support. Sessions are tailored to each person's situation and goals. He aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in every meeting.
Background and approach
Richard adapts the pace and tone of sessions to what feels most useful. He often helps people learn new ways to respond when emotions flare. That can include building skills for managing impulses and improving communication.
Over a long career he has worked with a wide range of problems, including obsessive and compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, phobias, chronic pain and illness, and midlife concerns. He also addresses issues tied to aging and geriatric changes and to parenting stress.
Work with LGBT clients, men dealing with shame or guilt, and those struggling with hoarding or chronic mood instability are within his practice focus. Each plan is practical and goal oriented, with attention to what can change now.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Richard integrates commonly used evidence-based techniques into sessions, focusing on methods that help people change how they react to strong emotions. One common approach teaches practical skills for recognizing triggers, slowing down before reacting, and using alternative behaviors to manage anger and impulsivity. Another approach focuses on anxiety and mood regulation by testing fearful thoughts and building step-by-step exposure to reduce panic and avoidance patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients help set the pace and decide which techniques feel most helpful over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller conversational experience while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when written reflection helps the client process emotions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work moving forward without long commutes.
