About Richard
Richard Brown is a New York licensed clinical social worker, LCSW-R, with 26 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also focuses on blended family issues alongside other personal and relational challenges.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps people name what feels most pressing. Conversations move at a clear pace and aim to create steps that fit everyday life.
Richard draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow a client's lead and build trust through respectful dialogue. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors and tries small changes to reduce distress. This mix is used to address worry, recurring patterns in relationships, and family tensions that can follow a new household arrangement.
He has worked across settings over more than two decades and brings that experience to common problems such as infidelity, loyalty conflicts, and merging routines after remarriage or partnership. He can help people think through roles, boundaries, and realistic next steps when a blended household is new or unsettled.
Sessions are practical and focused on what a client wants to change. Richard encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to see what is working. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to outline priorities and plan next steps.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Client-Centered Therapy follows the client's lead. It involves listening, reflecting what a person says, and building from their priorities. This approach helps when someone needs help sorting feelings about a new partner, changing roles, or loyalty concerns in a blended household.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to reduce worry, manage anxiety, and change unhelpful patterns in relationships or daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard treats selection of methods as a collaborative process. He will review goals and preferences with each person and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Licensed professionals can adapt Client-Centered and CBT techniques to these practical needs, helping people test changes and measure progress without major schedule disruption.
