About Richard

Richard Reihing is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in Ohio who focuses on trauma-informed care. He blends trauma-focused work with practical, person-centered methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. Richard writes in straightforward terms and aims to make therapy feel clear and doable for overwhelmed visitors.

He draws on 14 years of clinical experience and real-world background, including time as a firefighter/paramedic. That experience informs his understanding of first responder issues and burnout. He uses that perspective to relate to people who face high stress or compassion fatigue.

In sessions he relies on approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These methods shape how he helps with trauma, relationship difficulties, obsessive behaviors, mood concerns, and coping skills.

Richard emphasizes working together to set clear goals. He tends to focus on building skills, addressing patterns that cause pain, and shifting how people respond to difficult memories or relationships. The style is practical and grounded rather than academic.

People can expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and homework or practice when useful. He asks about everyday routines and stressors to tailor tools to each situation. To begin, users follow the site Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

How trauma-informed, attachment, and client-centered work translate online

Therapy draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that adapt easily to remote work. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on processing distressing memories and reducing their hold on daily life, often with structured exercises and step-by-step pacing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people shift patterns that cause repeated hurt. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person's priorities to build trust and direction.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches that match those needs. Clients and the therapist check in together about what works and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to meet during a work break. Many people appreciate that remote sessions let them use learned skills in real-time between meetings. Ask about logistics and scheduling while booking to find a setup that fits everyday routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
