About
Tricia Richards is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with twelve years of clinical experience. Her early work in community mental health across two regions of the state exposed her to a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, abuse and neglect, reunification, parenting challenges, stress, loss, and other life difficulties. That foundation informs how she supports individuals and families navigating complex situations.
She practices from a client centered, goal oriented, systems perspective, operating from the view that people do the best they can with what they have and sometimes benefit from additional tools. Sessions focus on collaboratively identified goals and practical strategies while attending to the systems that shape everyday life, such as school, work, family, and friendships.
Richards earned a Bachelor of Science in Family Studies and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Central Washington University, followed by a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University. She has been licensed and providing therapy since 2014. Married in 2017, she and her husband welcomed twins in 2018. She looks forward to supporting new clients who seek structured, system-aware work on the issues they bring.

Remote sessions and therapeutic focus
Tricia provides remote care using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are offered so clients can engage in the same collaborative, goal-focused work regardless of location or daily schedule.
Her client centered approach places the client's priorities at the center of each session while a goal oriented style breaks larger concerns into actionable steps and tools. The systems perspective means she considers how school, work, family, and friendships interact with presenting concerns, which is often relevant when addressing relationship issues, parenting challenges, or family of origin dynamics.
This combination can suit people who want structured, cooperative work on matters such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship or parenting difficulties, ADHD, self esteem, or coping with life changes. Communication methods available for remote work include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients and clinician can choose what fits their needs.
