About Richard

Richard Krebs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and the everyday struggles that can weigh on mood and functioning.

Background and approach

He brings a practical, skills-based focus to sessions and draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping strategies. Richard also works with issues related to addiction, trauma, self-esteem, and ADHD, and integrates techniques aimed at improving communication, emotional regulation, and life purpose.

With six years of clinical experience in Alabama, Richard’s background includes independent practice work and time supporting clients in a drug rehabilitation setting. That mix of outpatient and treatment-center experience informs his perspective when assisting people through life transitions, relapse prevention, grief, and family dynamics.

He emphasizes collaboration and helps clients set measurable goals while teaching tools they can use between sessions to manage symptoms and pursue meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Therapies and Online Care



Richard often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors by providing clear, skill-based strategies. He also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Both approaches are practical and translate well to an online setting where homework and skill practice between sessions are important.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to explore what methods feel most useful, adapting techniques over time to match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which support flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These remote formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice skills in real-time environments, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
