About Richard
Richard McCune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep problems, bipolar symptoms, and depression. He emphasizes practical steps and calm pacing in sessions. Richard writes plainly and focuses on small, useful changes that can improve rest and daily functioning.
He brings a mind-body-spirit perspective into the work. That can mean teaching relaxation skills, using mindful meditation, and applying person-centered conversation to clarify what matters most. He also uses cognitive behavior therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior that affect mood and sleep.
Richard has eight years of clinical experience and draws on his background as a Veteran of Foreign Wars and a Disabled American Veteran to inform his perspective. He mentions post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, chronic pain, and coping skills among common topics he addresses. He notes attention to spiritual concerns when clients want to include that in sessions.
People meet for focused conversation, practice new skills, and set simple goals between sessions. The approach aims to reduce nighttime worry, improve sleep routines, and ease daytime stress. Richard works with adults and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds.
He is based in New Jersey and offers services in English. Clients who are interested are invited to begin the platform matching process and schedule according to availability.
Approaches that help sleep, stress, and recovery
Richard uses several evidence-based techniques in plain, practical ways. Cognitive behavior therapy focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and habits that interfere with sleep and mood; it helps with insomnia, anxious thinking, and depression by teaching new routines and coping skills. Mindful meditation teaches nonjudgmental attention to the present moment and can reduce rumination and bedtime anxiety. Relaxation techniques include breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and grounding practices that lower physiological arousal before sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals, daily life, and comfort level. Sessions mix teaching, practice, and adjustment so the plan can change if something does not feel helpful.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into workdays more easily, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can let people try skills between appointments and bring observations from home routines into session conversations.
