About Richard
Richard "Rick" Frisby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. Rick has four years of clinical experience and focuses on practical support that fits each person’s life.
Rick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills and manage difficult feelings. He listens for each person’s priorities and works at a steady, understandable pace.
How Richard works
Sessions are about learning tools and practicing changes that feel realistic. Rick often supports people facing abandonment, attachment, or adoption-related questions. He also addresses issues linked to chronic pain, addiction, eating concerns, dissociation, and major life changes like divorce or aging.
He offers straightforward help for people feeling empty, isolated, or stuck. In sessions Rick emphasizes clear goals and small steps. He encourages honest conversation and a focus on what is useful day to day.
His approach combines talk-based problem solving with skill-building exercises tailored to each person. People meet with him by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rick practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and symptom reduction. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress, using step-by-step strategies to reduce panic and manage worry. Another approach emphasizes talking through past hurt and safety building after trauma, helping people name what happened and develop ways to feel more steady day to day.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rick collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. He adjusts the plan as progress is made and as life circumstances change, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when helpful, phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth days, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief contact between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
