About Rick
Rick Clements is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of practice experience. He focuses on helping people build healthier connections and live more honestly with themselves. He speaks plainly and works alongside clients to identify the biggest struggles and practical next steps.
Rick believes life becomes easier when people accept where they are and begin moving forward. He acknowledges the many things that shape a life - childhood experiences, trauma, relationships, and personal choices - and then helps clients find constructive ways to change their situation.
Background and approach
He says there is no shame in asking for help when life feels overwhelming. In sessions he gets to know each person as an individual and prioritizes the concerns that matter most to them. He offers tools and teaches skills clients can use between meetings.
He also checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan when needed. Over his career he has worked with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. His experience includes work with adoption and foster care topics, attachment and family of origin issues, father's concerns, and end-of-life matters.
Rick practices in Utah and provides support in English. He aims to make therapy practical, straightforward, and focused on real change.
Evidence-based techniques applied online
Rick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One common approach is teaching coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and improve sleep; these are short, actionable techniques people can try between sessions to see real change. Another helpful method addresses trauma and attachment by working through past experiences and building safer ways to connect in current relationships; this can ease feelings of shame, anger, or grief and open paths to healthier interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client’s goals and preferences, explain options, and work together to pick or blend methods that fit the person’s situation. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people meet from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and continue work between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver consistent, ongoing support tailored to each client’s needs.
