About Richard
Richard Orona is an LPC who uses attachment-based ideas alongside practical therapies to help people make real changes. He focuses on clear goals and teaches skills that can be used day to day. His style is straightforward and focused on what matters most for each person.
He brings 13 years of counseling experience from agency and independent practice settings. That background means he has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, addictions, grief, and parenting strain.

Richard combines approaches that aim to change how people think and how they relate to others. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and on attachment-based ideas to strengthen connection and safety in relationships.
He also uses solution-focused and narrative elements to find workable next steps and reframe difficult stories. Sessions are meant to be practical. He helps people build skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and addressing substance or behavior problems.
He looks for small, achievable changes that add up to bigger improvements in daily life. Richard holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Science in Psychology with a specialty in Behavioral Medicine. He practices from Texas and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
Online approaches that focus on connection and change
Richard often blends attachment-based ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method when working online. Attachment-based ideas look at how past and current relationships shape feelings and behavior and help people build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors they lead to, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method centers on practical communication skills and conflict patterns to improve relationship interaction.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, patterns that cause difficulty, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use body language and see interaction patterns. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging can help with quick reflections, follow-up, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still focusing on relationship and thought-based work.
