About Rick
Rick Clements is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping people find steadier footing in life. He believes strong connections and honest self-expression matter most when life feels chaotic. Rick speaks plainly and aims to make therapy practical and approachable for people facing stress, sleep trouble, grief, mood shifts, or relationship strain.
He starts by getting to know each person and identifying the problems that feel most urgent. Then he works with people to explore solutions and learn tools they can use outside sessions. Progress is checked regularly so plans can shift when needed.
Rick has spent his career helping people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, bipolar issues, and compassion fatigue. He also supports those dealing with parenting stress, fatherhood concerns, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and family of origin problems, and life transitions.
Sleep and rest are part of his focus areas, so he pays attention to how nightly routines and stress affect overall wellbeing. He also addresses intimacy-related issues, career questions, self-esteem, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice concerns.
People who work with Rick can expect straightforward conversations, practical skills, and ongoing guidance as they try new strategies. He practices in Utah and offers sessions in English, and he accepts international clients.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Rick uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people manage mood, relationships, and everyday challenges. One common approach involves working on practical skills and coping strategies to reduce anxiety and improve sleep routines, showing how daily habits and thought patterns influence rest. Another approach focuses on processing grief, trauma, or difficult relationships by talking through experiences and building step-by-step plans to feel more stable.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person's goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize during sessions.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets people continue work while managing geographic distance or life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, sleep-related strategies, and coping tools to work well in remote sessions, helping clients try new routines and track progress between meetings.
