Lyndsey Richards , LPC

Lyndsey Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 11 years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, compassion-based therapy for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by life.

Lyndsey uses practical, goal-focused conversations to help clients manage anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, career decisions, and addiction challenges. Her work includes attention to ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and body image struggles.

Her style is warm and interactive. She speaks plainly, listens closely, and will sometimes offer direct feedback or gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking. Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded in real-life steps clients can try between meetings.

Clinically, she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior approaches, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those tools are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than following one fixed plan.

Lyndsey has experience with trauma, emotional abuse recovery, attachment and abandonment issues, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also works with people navigating divorce, blended family dynamics, codependency, and communication problems.

People who choose Lyndsey can expect a practical, respectful partnership that focuses on small, achievable change. She frames therapy as a shared process of figuring out what helps and adjusting course as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and treating people with respect. It helps people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lyndsey will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals. She adapts tools from client-centered work and CBT to fit the issues someone brings, checking in and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a longer, in-depth meeting is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a change of scene is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching-style contact between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
