Chloe Richards, LPC

Chloe Richards is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and questions about identity and sexuality. She also supports those dealing with addiction and major life changes. Chloe aims to make therapy direct and approachable for people who need clear strategies and steady support.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help clients spot patterns and try practical changes. Sessions focus on simple steps that can reduce worry, improve mood, and strengthen communication. Chloe keeps explanations plain and offers tools people can use between meetings.

Chloe pays attention to relationship issues and communication problems, helping people say what they need and set healthy boundaries. She also addresses control issues, social anxiety and phobia, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. Addiction work includes helping people clarify goals and build motivation for change.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears, and co-creates an action plan with each person. Progress often involves short experiments and skill-building rather than long lectures.

Chloe has three years of clinical experience as an LPC in Alabama. She offers sessions in English and uses several online formats to fit different schedules. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Chloe’s approaches work online

Chloe uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practice different responses. CBT typically involves breaking problems into small steps, testing new ways of behaving, and tracking what changes. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build internal motivation rather than relying on pressure from others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chloe will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix of methods fits best and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework review, or when fitting a session into a busy day. These options help people access care around work, family, and other commitments without needing to travel.
