Richard Orona

Richard Orona brings 13 years of clinical experience to his counseling work in Texas. He focuses on helping people identify practical changes and build the skills needed to sustain those changes, drawing on a career in both agency settings and private practice where he has worked with individuals, families, and couples.

His work centers on assessing each concern and locating realistic, research-informed strategies to address it. He helps clients manage depression, stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem concerns, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleep disorders, parenting issues, anger, and bipolar disorder, with an emphasis on developing skills for ongoing self-development and lasting success.

Richard holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Science in Psychology with a specialty in Behavioral Medicine. He is licensed to practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas - his license is TX LPC 63047.

His therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy. He concentrates on finding tangible solutions to the problems clients bring and on helping clients identify and shift the thought patterns that drive unhelpful behaviors, believing that changing thinking is a direct path to different actions and outcomes. He welcomes the opportunity to help clients locate the changes they seek and to support them through the process of learning new behaviors and perspectives.
