About Rick

Rick Clements is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience who centers his work on helping people build healthier connections and live more honestly with themselves.

Background and approach

He approaches difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and ADHD by first acknowledging where a person is now and then identifying practical tools and strategies to move forward. He emphasizes that reaching out for help is a reasonable response to life’s complications rather than a sign of failure.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, Rick invests time getting to know each client’s priorities and the specific challenges they find most concerning. He collaborates on tailored plans, offers coaching-style support, and monitors progress so adjustments can be made when needed.

His background includes work with issues like grief, parenting and fatherhood concerns, addictions, intimacy-related problems, career questions, and a range of family-of-origin and attachment matters. Practically oriented and compassionate, Rick aims to equip clients with skills they can apply between sessions while providing ongoing encouragement.

He accepts international clients and practices from Utah, bringing decades of clinical experience to people seeking help with coping, life transitions, and improved relationship patterns.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care



Rick incorporates practical, evidence-informed techniques that focus on skill-building and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes developing coping strategies and behavioral tools to manage anxiety, stress, ADHD-related challenges, and sleeping or anger difficulties; this approach teaches concrete steps to change daily habits and responses. Another emphasis is on processing traumatic experiences and attachment wounds to reduce their ongoing impact on relationships and self-esteem, helping clients reclaim a greater sense of stability and connection.

Determining which approach fits best is a collaborative process. He partners with each person to clarify goals, explore options, and adjust methods as progress is tracked, ensuring the course of therapy aligns with the client's needs and preferences rather than following a fixed formula.

Online therapy with Rick uses video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier for people to schedule care around work, family, or geographic constraints, and they allow consistent check-ins and coaching between sessions. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and helps maintain continuity of care as clients work toward practical changes and improved relationships.
