About Richard

Richard Campbell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship challenges. He brings 15 years of professional experience to sessions and speaks English. He uses practical, down-to-earth language and aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

He typically starts by listening to what matters most to the family or couple.

Background and approach

He helps sort immediate problems like communication breakdowns, parenting conflicts, and grief. He also works on longer standing issues such as patterns of anger, low self-esteem, bipolar challenges, and trauma and abuse. Sessions are geared to real-life changes rather than abstract theory.

Richard blends several therapeutic methods so families can try what works for them. He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used in simple ways - noticing what matters, changing unhelpful thoughts, building skills, and practicing calm attention.

In work with families he pays attention to communication problems, forgiveness, multicultural concerns, and how caregiving and end-of-life issues affect relationships. He also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, jealousy, phobias, prejudice, and ADHD-related struggles. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

International clients may connect, and the subscription model can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule sessions with him.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and action. It helps people notice what truly matters, accept painful thoughts or feelings, and take small steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and calm stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your situation and try approaches that fit your goals and comfort level. Over time the plan can shift based on what helps most for parenting, relationship, or personal issues.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home while phone sessions remove the need for video. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or when schedules are tight. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, school, and caregiving.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
