About Richard
Richard Rodgers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience in mental health and addiction care. He draws on a mix of practical therapy methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and trauma. He aims to listen first and build a plan that fits each person's needs.
Richard began his path after serving in the Army National Guard and seeing fellow service members struggle.
Background and approach
That experience shaped his focus on addiction, trauma, and related concerns. He has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and brings the perspective of someone who has navigated transitions from military to civilian life. In sessions he uses approaches that include attachment-based ideas, acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered work.
He tailors conversations and exercises to what someone says they need, keeping things straightforward and goal-focused. Richard helps people with a wide range of issues such as relationship or intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with chronic illness, ADHD, grief, and compassion fatigue.
People meet him for short-term problem-solving or longer-term work to strengthen patterns and coping skills. He keeps sessions practical, offering tools to manage emotions and move toward clearer daily routines and healthier decisions.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and practical online therapy options
Richard brings attachment-based ideas together with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change how they relate to others. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to values-based actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client’s pace, giving space for someone to be heard and to set their own goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Richard will discuss options and try different methods in sessions to see what fits each person’s goals and preferences. He works collaboratively to adjust techniques over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when video is not possible, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days and let people pick the format that best supports steady progress.
