About Richard
Richard Rodgers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and related concerns. Richard practices in Indiana and offers services in English.
Before clinical practice he served in the Army National Guard and began working in mental health after returning from Afghanistan. That experience led him into addiction and trauma work across inpatient and outpatient settings. He completed a Master of Social Work and holds an LCSW in Illinois and Arizona as well as his LCSW credential noted above.
Richard uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions he focuses on emotions and relationship patterns and on helping people name and respond to difficult feelings. He also brings experience addressing substance use, PTSD, and mood concerns.
His clinical history includes work with veterans and people navigating substance abuse, depression, and trauma. He combines talk-based methods with a range of therapeutic tools to support coping skills and clearer communication. The emphasis is on practical steps a person can use day to day.
Outside of practice, he spends time with family and pets and enjoys attending sporting events and concerts. To begin, clients use a subscription-based arrangement that can be canceled at any time and follow the site’s intake steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
The description below highlights a few of the approaches Richard uses and how they can be applied in remote sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with emotions and attachment-related patterns; it can help people understand relationship dynamics and strong emotional reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice painful thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking committed action toward goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current behavior and helps people shift responses that no longer serve them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Richard will collaborate with a client to decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment work, or combinations of these approaches best fit the client’s needs and goals. That collaborative process includes checking in about what feels useful and adjusting as therapy progresses.
