Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Dr. Richardson works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at solving everyday problems. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. This kind of work is helpful for stress, depression, and confidence issues. Another approach emphasizes building practical coping skills and routines to manage overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning, which can help with trauma recovery, addictions, and ADHD-related challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match those priorities. Progress is checked regularly so the plan can be adjusted when something is not working.
