About Richard
Richard Orona is an LPC with 13 years of counseling experience who focuses on clear, practical change. He listens for what matters most and works with people to build small, useful habits that improve daily life.

Richard aims to translate difficult problems into clear steps people can try between sessions.
His work emphasizes understanding attachment and communication patterns in relationships. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused ideas to pinpoint practical shifts in thinking and action. Sessions tend to focus on identifying immediate goals and building skills that support longer-term change.
Richard earned a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Science in Psychology with a specialty in Behavioral Medicine. He holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Texas and practices there. He offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Richard uses Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in close relationships and help people understand how those patterns affect reactions and connection. This can be useful for relationship strain, commitment worries, and family problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online sessions can help identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies that fit their needs. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses so sessions stay focused on what helps most.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep momentum between appointments and to practice new skills in real life.
