Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lyndsey Richards

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and clearer decision-making when facing relationship, identity, or life-transition concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Clients learn strategies for managing difficult emotions and improving daily functioning through structured, goal-oriented techniques.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It is particularly useful for individuals who struggle with mood instability, relationship conflict, or impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lyndsey Richards works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts methods or blends techniques so treatment aligns with each person’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
