About Richard

Richard King is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 25 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

He focuses on stress and anxiety, family conflict, parenting concerns, depression, and ADHD, and also addresses caregiver stress, communication difficulties, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, sexuality, and social anxiety and phobia. He creates a respectful atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

Richard emphasizes collaboration and practical support, helping people identify patterns that contribute to distress and develop clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. He frames therapy as a process that begins with a brave first step and continues with steady work on skills, perspective shifts, and problem-solving.

His years of practice inform a calm, experienced presence aimed at helping clients find more balance and satisfaction in daily life. Clients who seek help for concentration or attentional challenges, mood concerns, or relationship strain can expect attentive listening and a focus on building strategies tailored to their circumstances.

He encourages prospective clients to take the initial step toward change and offers guidance through the early stages of care.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Richard draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood, attention, and relationship challenges. One commonly used approach focuses on learning practical skills for emotion regulation and stress management, helping clients notice patterns and try new responses when anxiety or low mood arise. Another approach centers on improving communication and problem-solving within relationships, which can reduce conflict and enhance mutual understanding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the strategies that fit their situation, adjusting techniques over time so care matches evolving needs and priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to connect. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or obligations arise, and use different modalities depending on the work at hand. Together, clients and therapist can choose the format and methods that best support progress and daily life integration.
