About Richard
Richard Gantt is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 24 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, addictions, relationship problems, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and major life changes. He speaks English and brings a steady, practical style to sessions.
Richard uses several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. He draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and choices.
Background and approach
He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. He can incorporate dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotional regulation and coping strategies are needed. Over two decades of practice has given him experience with substance-related and co-occurring concerns, as well as trauma and anger difficulties.
He also notes additional focus areas such as attachment and communication problems, codependency, commitment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and issues that can accompany aging. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. Pricing varies with location and uses a subscription model that may be canceled at any time.
Richard holds Kentucky license KY LPCC 104898. To begin, users are asked to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability. This helps match practical needs with the therapeutic approach.
How Richard’s Approaches Work Online
Richard often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping the person set their own goals. This approach helps people feel heard and more in control as they work through decisions and next steps.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. CBT teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles.
Finding the right method is part of the process. Richard will work together with each person to choose what fits best based on their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep work moving forward between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, practice new ways of coping, and check progress without needing to travel.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
