About Richard

Richard Ingram-Hegenbart is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. He focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, low self-esteem, career doubts, and depression. He aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who feel unsure or overwhelmed.

He keeps sessions straightforward and nonjudgmental. He creates space for clients to talk about hard feelings and everyday struggles. The room is meant for honest conversation and practical next steps rather than long explanations.

Background and approach

In his work he uses approaches that help people understand patterns in relationships and everyday thinking. That can mean looking at attachment and connection, gently challenging unhelpful thoughts, or focusing on present-moment awareness. The methods are chosen to match what each person needs in the moment.

Richard has four years of clinical experience and holds the LCPC credential. He has worked with issues including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep troubles, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He also addresses related areas such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, codependency, and fatherhood challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He aims to help people build clearer coping skills and realistic steps forward. The tone is practical, respectful, and focused on what helps in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings of safety; online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple, practical skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Both approaches translate well to remote formats and can be used to address parenting stress, relationship patterns, and daily coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Richard will talk with a client about their goals and preferences and recommend approaches that fit their situation. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and pick what feels most helpful for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, keep momentum between meetings, and get support from home or while traveling. For many people the variety of formats supports steady progress and practical problem solving.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
