Richard Broach, LPC

How his approaches translate to online care

Richard blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods in ways that work over video or phone. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and the patterns that keep those emotions stuck, which can change how they respond in relationships and daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-centered therapy centers on listening with empathy and following the client’s pace to build trust and self-direction. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Richard will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful, and then shape sessions collaboratively to match those needs. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when face-to-face interaction helps emotional work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on progress and practical change.
