About Richard

LMHC licensed in New York with 40 years of clinical experience, Richard Zwolinski helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and offers coaching. He also focuses on concerns tied to cancer, codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, men’s issues, and workplace stress. Richard works in English and accepts international clients. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to work directly with practical problems and goals.

Richard keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. He invites clients to talk about what feels most urgent and then shapes steps to reduce distress and regain control. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings, behavior patterns, and specific situations that cause strain. He balances listening with clear suggestions and practical exercises to try between sessions.

Over four decades of practice inform his approach. He draws on therapies that have been shown to help with anxiety, mood, and addictive behavior, and adapts methods to the person’s pace. The emphasis is on skills people can use right away at home, work, or in difficult moments.

Richard aims for collaboration. He reviews progress regularly and adjusts plans if something isn’t working. Sessions may include coaching elements focused on decision-making, routines, and coping strategies for workplace or health-related stressors.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve

Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and measurable change. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teach practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change addictive patterns. Brief, structured problem-solving methods focus on identifying a specific problem, breaking it into steps, and testing small changes to improve day-to-day functioning.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust methods based on how the person responds. That conversation is part of the first sessions rather than a one-time decision.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also means people can try approaches such as skills practice or coaching exercises in the context of their daily routines, then discuss how those efforts went in the next meeting.
