About

He brings a background that includes 32 years affiliated with the Air Force, including 24 years on active duty, and later returning to the same role as a GS-11 civilian employee. He holds three years of professional clinical experience working with adults facing a range of concerns.
His practice focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, relationships, family and parenting issues, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes. He has specific experience addressing first responder and veteran trauma. He also works with issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, infidelity, and substance use concerns.
He uses a mix of client-centered methods alongside structured techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, motivational interviewing, existential therapy, and mindfulness. He approaches work collaboratively, helping people identify goals and practical steps while attending to thoughts, emotions, and real-world challenges.
Remote care tailored to trauma, coping, and change
Richard Williams offers an approach that blends client-centered collaboration with structured techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to explore connections among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. EMDR is available for clients seeking a modality focused on processing traumatic memories and the reactions that follow. Mindfulness techniques are incorporated to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Clients who prefer a collaborative, goal-oriented process may find this combination useful: the client-centered stance keeps goals and values central while CBT and EMDR provide specific tools for symptom reduction and trauma processing. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering several ways to connect based on personal preference and access.What is Richard Williams's professional background?
