Richard McCune , LPC

Richard McCune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and sleeping problems. He writes simply and works to make sessions easy to follow. People who are worried about mood or past trauma can expect a straightforward approach aimed at practical steps.

His style blends talk therapy with calming practices. He uses relaxing techniques, mindful meditation, person-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions often include breathing or grounding exercises, gentle reflection, and clear tools to try between meetings.

Richard brings eight years of clinical experience and a willingness to address both mental and physical aspects of distress. He names mind, body, and spirit as parts of recovery and draws on that view when framing goals and homework. This helps people translate conversations into everyday changes.

He also lists a wider set of concerns he can address, including chronic pain, illness, grief and loss, communication problems, control issues, and life transitions like divorce or midlife struggles. Men's issues and first responder themes are also noted among his interests.

Sessions are offered from New Jersey and in English, and international clients may be seen. The focus is on steady, practical work together rather than quick fixes. Richard aims to make the process understandable and manageable for people taking the first steps toward change.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Richard uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep symptoms like anxiety and depression going. CBT often involves small experiments and practical homework to test new ways of thinking and acting.

He also uses person-centered methods that prioritize the client's own goals and pace. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what works best for your goals and preferences.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, follow-ups, or when writing feels easier than speaking.

These formats make it possible to fit therapy around work, travel, or family commitments. Many people find that having multiple ways to connect helps maintain steady progress and makes ongoing support easier to keep up with.
