Ethel Richard-Peterson is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas who brings six years of professional therapy experience to her work. She has worked with people from a range of backgrounds facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, grief and loss, parenting difficulties, and relationship concerns.
Clients report she is caring and nonjudgmental and that they appreciate her honesty and directness. She aims to accompany people through difficult periods while helping them better understand themselves and how they relate to others.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career difficulties, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She uses client-centered therapy along with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.
She offers multiple ways to connect - including video, phone, live chat, and messaging - and adapts to whatever format the client finds most comfortable. Ethel holds a Texas Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, listed as LCSW #65529, which indicates her professional licensure in the state.
Many people ask whether talking with a therapist online can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is convenience - clients can meet with a therapist in the way that fits their schedule and comfort level, choosing from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to prioritize care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
All participating professionals are licensed, and clients have the option to change providers if they need a different therapeutic fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, practical route to consistent support and progress.
