Richard Crowell, LMFT

Richard Crowell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on depression, grief, trauma, anger, and family challenges. He aims to create a respectful and supportive space where people feel heard as they sort through difficult emotions and decisions.

Richard emphasizes the whole person in therapy. He pays attention to relationships, personal values, and the life events that shape how someone feels and responds. Sessions often include talking through communication problems, attachment concerns, and the impact of past hurts on current relationships.

He also helps people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and the ripple effects of divorce and blended family situations. For those coping with loss or complex grief, he offers steady support and practical steps to manage daily life while processing sorrow.

People who are struggling with guilt, shame, impulsivity, or isolation can work on small, manageable changes in thinking and behavior. He has experience addressing mood disorders, dissociation, and symptoms related to trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Richard brings cultural awareness into sessions and is comfortable discussing faith and identity when that matters to a person’s healing. He practices in Utah and speaks English. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and coping skills. One common approach helps people understand patterns in their relationships and attachment. It looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and teaches ways to change repeating patterns that cause conflict or isolation.

Another approach centers on managing strong emotions like anger, grief, or overwhelming stress. This method teaches practical skills to notice triggers, reduce impulsive reactions, and build calmer routines that improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

If you want to use online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before scheduling since the profile does not list them explicitly. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss practical preferences with the therapist during the initial matching and scheduling steps so sessions can fit into everyday life.
