About Richard
Richard Broach is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 25 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration issues, life purpose, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and process addictions.
Broach uses a practical, piece-by-piece way of looking at problems. He compares concerns to a puzzle where current stresses, past experiences, relationships, work, and daily habits are laid out and reviewed. He encourages clients to consider lifestyle factors that affect mood and functioning, naming sleep, activity, nutrition, and exercise as core elements to watch.
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and relationship patterns, and pairs that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for practical steps. Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches are also part of his work when that fits a person’s needs. Sessions involve straightforward discussion about feelings and behavior, then practical strategies to try between meetings.
Broach speaks English and Spanish and practices in Wisconsin. He frames change as something people develop through clear conversation and steady habits. He invites people to examine the pieces of their lives and to test small changes that can make day-to-day life more manageable.
For people wanting a direct, experience-focused approach, he offers a mix of emotional exploration and concrete actions. He encourages building steady routines alongside talking through painful events and patterns.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and track strong emotions and the interaction patterns that keep those feelings stuck. It is useful when emotional reactions are hard to describe or when patterns repeat in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are difficult, which helps with anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, practical changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix best fits the immediate concerns and longer-term aims.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep continuity of care during life changes. Licensed professionals will work with clients to adapt exercises and homework so they fit everyday routines rather than promising a particular service format.
