About Fredric

Dr. Fredric Richmond is a Pennsylvania psychologist (PA Psychologist PS005061L) with 43 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strains, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, grief, anger, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and related concerns. He also addresses parenting and career stress and a range of attachment and family-of-origin issues.

He trained at Temple University and the University of Michigan and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background means he has long experience helping people whose feelings and behavior cause real disruption in daily life. He listens first, paying attention to what each person actually says about their situation.

Dr. Richmond uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. He helps people talk through what is happening, identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and practice different ways of responding when anger or anxiety arise. He also draws on existential ideas about values and meaning when that becomes useful.

Sessions are practical. He works with people to develop short-term strategies that reduce immediate distress and longer-term habits that change how problems unfold. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques are part of the toolbox he may use when helpful.

He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients follow the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Dr. Richmond applies therapy approaches online

Dr. Richmond blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to address problems like anger, anxiety, and depression. Client-centered work means focusing on what the person says and prioritizing their perspective. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings.

CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors. It is practical and problem-focused, often useful for anger, anxiety, sleep, and coping skills. He also uses existential ideas when questions of meaning or values are central, helping people consider choices and long-term direction.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaboration lets sessions change over time as needs shift.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different approaches can be adapted to shorter or longer sessions and to settings with or without video, depending on what the therapist and client agree will work best.
