About Richard
Richard Long is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience. He works with adults who are facing relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, anxiety, or major life changes. He speaks plainly and focuses on clear next steps rather than long, vague conversations.
Clients often come for help with relationship problems, intimacy issues, or navigating separation and divorce. He also helps people who feel stuck at work, overwhelmed by stress, or drained by compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
He does not take on cases involving addiction or domestic violence, and he is not a fit for faith-based therapy requests. Richard says he is direct in session and will tailor conversations to each person’s needs. He asks about individual patterns before recommending a plan.
That plan aims to move people from merely stable to more satisfying and workable options. He holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT, and is licensed to practice in Florida and Georgia. His approach is practical and action-oriented, with room for reflection when needed.
He meets people where they are and helps them try different ways forward. Therapy starts by filling out a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Access
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One common approach helps people map relationship patterns and change interactions that cause recurring conflict; it works well for intimacy problems and couples facing separation. Another approach focuses on coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching straightforward strategies to manage strong feelings and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, history, and preferences, then try methods that fit each person. If something isn’t working, he adjusts the plan so sessions stay focused on useful progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins or on-the-go support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep momentum between appointments.
