About Richard
Richard Crowell is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people facing family stress, grief, trauma, depression, and anger with a straightforward and compassionate style. He emphasizes clear communication and practical steps that fit into busy lives.
He looks at clients as whole people, including their relationships and, when relevant, their faith. That view helps him address attachment struggles, abandonment fears, and problems that come up in blended families.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and the emotional impact of cancer. Richard offers care for those coping with traumatic experiences, dissociation, and symptoms related to disruptive mood dysregulation. He helps people who struggle with guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and difficulties finding life purpose.
He also works with concerns tied to divorce and separation and the process of forgiveness. His work includes helping with communication problems and emotional regulation so daily interactions feel less fraught. He brings experience supporting people with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and self-harm behaviors.
He is attentive to cultural and identity issues that shape each person’s story. Based in Utah, Richard practices from a relational perspective and aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space.

Approaches that guide online work and choices
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on relationships and practical change. One common approach he uses centers on improving communication and emotional regulation; this helps people manage anger, reduce conflict, and handle daily stressors. Another focus is trauma-informed care that attends to how past hurt affects current attachment and reactions, which can be useful for people processing abuse, dissociation, or post-traumatic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He explores goals, personal history, and what feels most helpful, and then adjusts the plan together with each client. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person's needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into a work break or busy day. Remote sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins or quieter conversations when that supports progress. If you want to understand which format will work best for your situation, ask about options during the matching and scheduling steps.
