Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and family stress can make everyday life feel impossible to keep up with. I'm Rich, an LICSW with 15 years helping adults and seniors in Vermont navigate those moments. I see clients in person in Morrisville and by telehealth throughout Vermont. I'd love to help you find a way forward.
My approach is practical and collaborative. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you examine the thoughts behind your distress and build tools that work in daily life. For trauma and PTSD, I use Trauma-Focused CBT to work through past experiences at a manageable pace. Narrative Therapy also shapes my practice, helping us look at the story you've been telling yourself and whether it still fits. I work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, panic disorders, grief, stress, and family conflict, adapting my approach to what you need. Sessions are direct: you'll leave with something concrete to try.
The first session is just a conversation. You don't need to have it all figured out before you arrive. We'll talk about what's been hard and what you'd like to feel differently. From there, we'll build a plan together that fits your actual life. Most clients leave that first session feeling like they finally had the conversation they needed. Reach out when you're ready.
