Richard McCranie, LPC

Richard McCranie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ issues, grief, and major life changes. He approaches therapy as an alliance grounded in open communication of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and he emphasizes collaboration as clients and therapist work together to set goals and develop practical coping skills.

Richard earned bachelor’s degrees in psychology and history from The University of Georgia in 2004 and later completed a Master of Science in Clinical/Counseling Psychology at Valdosta State University. Early in his career he served as a Primary Therapist at The Marcus Institute working with individuals on the autism spectrum and other behavioral health concerns, and he later supervised case managers in New York City with Partnership of Innovative Comprehensive Care, Inc.

After returning to South Georgia, Richard gained experience in intake and admission roles at Crescent Pines/Anchor Hospital and the DeKalb Community Service Board before moving into clinical therapy positions that included residential and outpatient care. He has held roles such as Medication Assisted Treatment coordinator, residential manager supervisor, and director of clinical services overseeing clinical and residential programs. In 2023 he launched a private practice where he continues to provide care for individuals facing addictive, behavioral, and mental health challenges. Richard is committed to using his training and experience to support clients in building clearer, more manageable lives, while acknowledging that therapy outcomes depend on many factors beyond any single clinician's control.
