About Richard

Richard Rodgers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who integrates evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, ADHD, and related challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on a decade of clinical experience working across inpatient and outpatient settings and frames treatment around practical skills and client-centered collaboration. His LCSW credentials are held in Illinois (IL LCSW 149.020534) and Arizona (AZ LCSW LCSW-21892).

Clients find that his methods combine acceptance and behavioral strategies with attention to attachment patterns and emotional regulation. He uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches to tailor care to each person's circumstances.

Areas of focus include relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and parenting difficulties, substance concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, compassion fatigue, and a range of personality and developmental issues. Based in Indiana and offering services in English, he provides flexible online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

His work emphasizes listening, building coping strategies, and partnering with clients to set practical goals and respond to life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify personal values and learn skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood and functioning. These methods are well suited for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to assess goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then adapts techniques from ACT, CBT, or other approaches to create a tailored plan that feels workable and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from home or wherever it is most convenient, while still benefiting from licensed professionals and structured therapeutic approaches.
