About Richard
Richard Amparan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage anger, sleep problems, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. He has 11 years of experience in mental health and works with each person to set clear short- and long-term goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
He centers care on the individual’s needs and draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
Background and approach
That means sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. People can expect a mix of talking, learning new skills, and practice exercises to address things like nightmares, insomnia, or repeated angry responses. Richard’s background includes work with post-traumatic stress and anxiety, and he often helps people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, guilt, shame, and social anxiety.
He also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, workplace problems, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Practical planning is part of the work. He and the client identify measurable steps and track progress across weeks.
This makes it easier to see what’s changing and where more attention is needed. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He is based in Texas and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Richard uses a few structured approaches that translate well to online care. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavior changes; this helps with anger, depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Imagery Rehearsal Therapy is a short, focused method for reducing nightmares by practicing new dream scripts and visualizations over several sessions. Acceptance and commitment ideas help people notice painful thoughts and commit to valued actions, which can ease avoidance and increase daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss options, try methods for a few weeks, and adjust based on what’s helping. Clients and therapist set goals together and track progress so they can decide whether to deepen an approach or try something different.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, reminders, or short coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings, weekends, or a lunch break.
