About Richard
Richard King is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes. He describes his work as practical and person-focused, and he will spend time in prayer if a client requests it.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify immediate concerns and workable steps. Sessions often focus on coping skills, mood management, and short-term actions that can reduce daily overwhelm. People bring issues such as compassion fatigue, seasonal mood shifts, and social anxiety to their meetings with him.
Richard also supports those wrestling with life purpose, guilt or shame, forgiveness, and men’s issues. He pays attention to how changes in work, relationships, or health are affecting day-to-day routines. His approach emphasizes clear goals and steps rather than long abstract talk.
When someone feels stuck in midlife or is noticing patterns that keep repeating, he helps them sort priorities and try small experiments to see what changes feel sustainable. Because he uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods, sessions tend to be collaborative and action-oriented. That means listening to what matters to the person and then picking a few concrete steps to test between meetings.
Richard works in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the online therapy options button. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening closely and following what the person says matters most. The therapist reflects concerns back, clarifies priorities, and helps people name what they want to change. This approach is often useful when someone is unsure where to begin or needs a calm space to sort thoughts.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and quick, practical steps. Sessions identify small experiments or behavior changes to try between meetings and then review what worked. This method fits issues where short-term progress and clearer daily routines are helpful, such as mood management or coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on what feels like the best fit based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. If prayer or spiritual elements are important, those can be included when the client requests them.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. Phone sessions often require less bandwidth and can be used for brief check-ins, while video lets the therapist and client read visual cues during conversation.
