About Richard
Richard Krebs is an LPC who helps people manage strong emotions and life stressors. He focuses on practical steps someone can use when anger, anxiety, or grief makes daily life harder. Richard keeps language simple and sessions focused on skills and small changes that feel doable.
He draws on several well-known approaches to tailor work to each person. That can mean learning new ways to notice thoughts, practicing skills to manage emotional intensity, or using mindfulness to step out of automatic reactions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include concrete exercises to try between meetings. Richard has six years of counseling experience across outpatient and rehabilitation settings. That background gives him a mix of short-term skill-building and longer-term exploration for patterns that keep returning.
He has worked with people dealing with addiction, trauma, family issues, and career stress. In meetings he emphasizes clear goals and practical tools. People leave with assignments that fit their schedule and problems small enough to test before the next session.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so gains are visible. Richard is licensed in Alabama as a Licensed Professional Counselor. He offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair people with a therapist and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches That Fit Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, often using step-by-step skills practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a person’s situation and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, values-based steps, or emotional regulation techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access to regular sessions. Video calls let people work visually through exercises and role-plays, while phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow frequent, brief check-ins and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or recovery schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
