About

Richard Strand is a New York-based clinician with 25 years of experience studying and supporting human behavior and change. He aims to help people move toward greater satisfaction, calm, and personal growth by attending to the full complexity of their lives.

As a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York, he assesses clients using a bio-psycho-social-spiritual framework to identify the areas where support will be most helpful. He considers multiple dimensions - the person, their environment, life timeline, and how different life stages have shaped their experience - to tailor a path toward each client’s goals.

His approach is client-centered and draws on evidence-based methods. He commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing when appropriate, and much of his practice has focused on trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and addictions. He has also worked with issues such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, anger management, career problems, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Recognizing how technology has changed communication, he has incorporated online therapy into his practice as an option for counseling, coaching, and support. Above all, his goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in a clear understanding of each person’s needs and objectives.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most situations.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits their life and comfort level, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain continuity of care even when schedules are busy or travel is difficult.

Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical, accessible route to consistent support and meaningful progress.
