Richard Soper is a great therapist and is helping me so much. I have seen a dramatic change since talking to him and I have only seen him 4 times. I would highly recommend this therapist, especially if you have anger issues, anxiety, stress, or relationship issues.

More about Richard

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

It takes courage to reach out for help when you struggle or feel stuck. As a therapist, I'm dedicated to creating a secure setting where my clients can express themselves and work through obstacles, adversity, and life changes. Therapy provides an opportunity for clients to question long-held beliefs that may no longer be beneficial to their present lives and make lasting change. In my practice, I work to create a non-judgmental and affirming environment where you can explore, process, and feel.

My approach is collaborative and strengths-focused. I believe that by acknowledging and nurturing our talents and positive attributes we can outgrow any problem. I use a variety of Strengths-Based Techniques and Cognitive Therapies (CBT, CT-R) to address depression, anxiety, stress-management, relationships, substance abuse, and transitional problems.

It takes enormous strength to reach out for help, especially when things are at their worst. I believe we can all live a life filled with confidence, fulfilling relationships, purpose, and a sense of control.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
