About Richard
Richard Komm is an Arizona psychologist with four decades of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, trauma, and parenting concerns. He aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through what feels hardest.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what’s getting in the way and to build practical steps forward. Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
Background and approach
This means discussing concrete strategies for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing daily stress. Richard often supports people working through relationship strain and sexual orientation related concerns. He also helps those coping with mood disorders, panic, obsessive worries, and long-term health or pain issues.
His work covers a broad range of concerns so people can address several problems at once. Across 40 years in practice he has focused on respectful, plainspoken care. He emphasizes listening first, then offering options clients can try between sessions.
People who prefer clear, steady guidance may find his style a good match. To begin, he asks about current struggles and goals and then tailors the plan together. That collaborative approach keeps the work focused and practical while honoring each person’s experience.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical skills. One common approach involves teaching emotion regulation and coping strategies to reduce intense anxiety or anger and to help with daily stress. These skills are practical tools people can use between sessions to manage strong feelings. Another approach emphasizes structured problem-solving and communication skills to address relationship strain and parenting challenges. This involves breaking problems into steps and practicing new ways of talking and listening to improve interactions.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist listens to each person’s goals and preferences and then recommends options to try. If an approach does not fit, adjustments are made so the work stays relevant and useful for the client’s situation.
Online therapy here is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can help people keep momentum between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, caregiving, or mobility limits.
