About Richard
Richard Orona is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, addictions, sleep issues, parenting concerns, anger, and family-related struggles including blended family issues.
Orona draws on practical, research-informed methods. He combines cognitive behavioral ideas with solution-focused and narrative elements to help people change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions are oriented toward concrete steps and skills rather than long theory discussions.
He has worked in counseling agencies and private practice. That range of experience exposed him to many family situations and relationship tensions. He reports helping individuals identify problem patterns and learn straightforward ways to respond differently.
In appointments he typically assesses the presenting concern, finds achievable goals, and teaches skills to support change. People leave with tools they can use between sessions to manage stress, improve communication, or adjust routines in a blended household.
Richard holds a Master of Art in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Science in Psychology with a specialty in Behavioral Medicine. He aims to help people adopt new thought patterns and practical behaviors that support lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance, and helps people change how they relate to partners and family members.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines the thoughts that drive behavior. It teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking and to try new actions that reduce anxiety, depression, or conflict.
The therapist will work with the client to find the best approach. Figuring out which methods fit comes from talking about concerns, goals, and what feels manageable. Richard treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts tools as progress is made.

These practical benefits can help people keep regular appointments and practice new skills between meetings.
