Lyndsey Richards, LPC

Lyndsey Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 11 years of clinical experience. She takes a practical, client-focused approach that helps people face anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. Lyndsey speaks plainly and meets people where they are when they want change.

Her sessions are warm and interactive but direct when needed. She asks clear questions, helps identify unhelpful thinking, and works with clients to try new behaviors. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with skills-based strategies to build tools that fit everyday life.

Lyndsey has worked with a wide range of concerns, including parenting challenges, career stress, addiction, ADHD, and trauma related to emotional or physical abuse. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, body image, attachment and abandonment worries, and complicated separation or divorce. Her experience includes work with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.

Her style balances acceptance with gentle challenge. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find what matters to them, and DBT-informed skills when emotional regulation is needed. Treatment plans are tailored to the person’s goals and practical needs rather than to labels alone.

In a typical session Lyndsey helps people notice patterns, test new reactions, and build coping strategies that fit daily routines. She supports clients through life transitions and career decisions, and she coaches people who want structured, goal-oriented work. The emphasis is on usable skills and steady progress.

How Lyndsey Uses Action-Oriented Therapy Online

Online sessions often draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in daily life. CBT methods focus on practical steps you can try between sessions, which suits worries like anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and perspective. This means sessions focus on the client’s priorities, with the therapist listening closely and shaping interventions around what matters most. For people needing emotional regulation and distress tolerance, Lyndsey brings in elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lyndsey works with each person to decide which strategies fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She tailors plans as progress unfolds and adjusts techniques based on what proves helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for longer sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or follow-up between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or other routines.
