Richard McCune, LPC

Richard McCune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey. He offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, and depression. He welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions.

Richard uses a mix of practical tools in sessions. He teaches relaxing techniques and guided mindfulness to ease overwhelming feelings. He also uses person-centered conversation to follow what matters most to each person and cognitive behavior approaches to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

He draws on the connection between mind, body, and spirit when people want a more holistic approach. That can look like breathing practices alongside talking about thoughts and behaviors. The goal is to build skills that help day-to-day functioning and emotional balance.

Richard’s background includes military service through the Veterans of Foreign Wars and work with Disabled American Veterans. That experience informs how he talks about stress, trauma, and the effects of service on life at home.

Sessions are intended to be a steady space to practice coping skills, process loss or guilt, and address issues such as chronic pain, grief, or major life transitions. People wishing to start can use the site’s matching and scheduling tools to set up a first appointment.

Evidence-based approaches for service and civilian life challenges

Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways that people can practice between sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and replacing them with more helpful responses. Mindful relaxation and meditation teach simple breathing and attention practices to reduce stress and improve sleep. Person-centered methods prioritize the client’s own goals and the counselor follows the person’s lead while offering support.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it matches what the person wants to get from therapy.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when the day is tight or let a person choose audio if video feels like too much. Ask about current options when scheduling to find the best fit for routines and needs.
