About Richard
Richard Turner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and major life changes. He focuses on practical, steady support so clients can find clearer choices and better daily coping. He believes clients know their stories best and uses that perspective to shape each session.
In sessions he listens first and asks simple questions to understand what matters most.
Background and approach
He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect current relationships. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. Richard works in a straightforward, respectful way.
He helps people name problems, set small goals, and practice steps between sessions. He often focuses on communication, coping skills, and patterns that keep problems repeating. Clients turn to him for help with family tension, caregiving stress, relationship fears such as abandonment or commitment worries, and life transitions like divorce or job change.
He also addresses blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and struggles with body image or dependence. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person. Richard encourages trying approaches that fit the client’s values and daily life.
He supports steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Attachment-focused and action-oriented approaches online
Richard often blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when working with clients. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to shift how people relate to others and to themselves. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept difficult thoughts while taking steps toward a meaningful life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which methods fit their goals, values, and everyday routines. Together they try things, adjust what isn’t helping, and keep what is working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets clients check in between sessions or use shorter updates. These options give flexibility for scheduling, pacing, and the way someone prefers to communicate with a licensed professional.
