About Richard
Richard Lally is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 25 years in behavioral health. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and addictions. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.
He uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. That means listening first, then helping clients set clear, practical goals. He draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused steps to try small changes that make life easier.
How Richard works
Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are part of his toolkit too. These methods are used to build awareness, strengthen resolve, and keep progress moving. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s goals guide the plan.
Richard earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology and holds an LCMHC in North Carolina. He has worked with people from a variety of backgrounds over two and a half decades. That experience informs how he tailors techniques to fit each person’s needs.
He offers online options including video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To start, he asks about your main concerns and helps create a focused, manageable plan for change.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people clarify what matters to them and set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior for issues like anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care when schedules or locations change.
