About Richard
Richard Rodgers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and related struggles. He brings ten years of hands-on experience in mental health and addiction work. Richard writes plainly and listens closely to understand what each person needs.
He mixes well-known therapeutic methods with a flexible, person-focused style. That means sessions can include skills practice, exploring attachment patterns, or working on values and behavior change.
How Richard works
His toolset is pulled from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy, adapted to the individual sitting in front of him. Richard has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and has substantial experience with substance use concerns and mood disorders.
He also helps people facing grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, sleep trouble, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. He pays attention to co-occurring problems so treatment addresses the whole picture. Sessions are collaborative.
He helps people set clear goals, build coping skills, and practice new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. Progress is practical and measurable, with a focus on everyday life improvements. Richard practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.
He offers a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on values and attachment
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, guided steps toward those values. It combines mindfulness with practical actions to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are tailored over time so techniques evolve as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when longer sessions or deeper work are needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support frequent, brief contact and homework check-ins between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, or recovery routines while keeping the focus on practical change and consistent support.
