About Richard
Richard Krebs helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and addiction-related concerns. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with six years of experience. His approach is direct and practical so people can use what they learn quickly.
Richard focuses on problems that get in the way of day-to-day life. This includes stress, low self-esteem, anger, parenting strain, workplace difficulties, and questions around life purpose.
How Richard works
He also supports people dealing with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. In sessions he uses a mix of tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness work, and other approaches. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and try small behavioral changes between meetings.
He also draws on techniques developed for trauma processing when appropriate. His background includes independent practice work and time supporting people in a drug rehabilitation setting. That experience informs a practical, recovery-focused perspective for those coping with substance use and relapse concerns.
He also brings experience addressing fatherhood issues, family of origin dynamics, and communication problems. Richard aims for straightforward, collaborative sessions. He helps clients set clear goals, track small steps, and build habits that fit their daily life.
Sessions are offered in several online formats for convenience and flexibility.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take goal-directed action even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It uses exercises and behavioral experiments to build a values-driven life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skill building to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and it often includes between-session practice to reinforce new habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses your goals and preferences, and together you decide which methods to try first. He monitors progress and adjusts techniques based on what helps you move toward measurable goals.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for in-depth work and when visual cues help the process. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible, ongoing support between sessions and can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day.
