Jonathan Richard, LPC

Jonathan Richard, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor based in Texas. He trained through a Master of Arts in Counseling program at St. Edward's University and completed an internship at Capital Area Counseling. That experience helped him find a relaxed, conversational style that fits his personality.

He tends to use a person-centered approach and leans toward Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions usually begin by asking what difference the client wants to notice in their life. Jonathan then asks questions about times when that outcome was already present to help make change feel more reachable.

Jonathan has three years of counseling experience and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. He also focuses on issues such as emptiness, guilt and shame, self-love, parenting, career, and intimacy-related challenges.

In sessions he aims for an easy-going conversation rather than a rigid script. He often draws on practical steps and the client's own past successes to build momentum toward goals. His approach emphasizes small, concrete changes that can add up over time.

People who prefer a direct, hopeful approach that centers their goals may find his style helpful. The work is collaborative: the client describes the desired outcome, and Jonathan helps map a path based on what has worked before and what seems possible now.

Solution-Focused Work and Online Therapy

Jonathan uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify clear, achievable goals and notice moments when life already feels closer to those goals. This approach asks about desired outcomes and past instances of success to build practical next steps and momentum.

He also draws on a person-centered style that values relaxed, open conversation. That style helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and feelings like emptiness or guilt in a straightforward way. Together, therapist and client decide which ideas to try and which to adapt.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jonathan works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs and preferences. He listens to what matters most and tailors questions and interventions to the goals the client describes.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins between major life events. Different ways of meeting can make it simpler to keep consistency while you work on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and other priorities.
