Richard Ingram-Hegenbart, LCPC

Richard Ingram-Hegenbart is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana. He has four years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and career concerns. He also supports those managing depression and other life changes. He emphasizes a straightforward, human approach that makes beginning therapy easier to do.

He aims to create a space where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Conversations are intended to feel nonjudgmental and practical. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Richard also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and relationship patterns. Client-centered methods guide sessions so the person's goals set the pace and direction of the work. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are added when helpful to explore meaning, values, and present-moment coping.

Sessions focus on concrete strategies and real-life steps. That can include building skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep, or handling workplace stress. He pays attention to issues like communication, commitment concerns, codependency, and caregiver strain when they come up.

Richard works with adults who want practical tools and steady support through change. He accepts international clients and offers multiple remote formats. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he encourages people to begin at a pace that fits them.

How Richard blends approach and remote care

Richard commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce stress and anxiety. He also pulls from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and relationship concerns, especially around trust and closeness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts the focus over time based on what proves helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant to their needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel routines.
