About Richard
Richard Krebs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. He works in straightforward language and aims to help people find practical ways to feel better day to day. Richard uses therapy to help clients handle relationship strain, parenting challenges, and problems with self-esteem.
He also supports people working through addiction, workplace stress, and life changes. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and usable skills rather than long explanations.
Background and approach
In his practice Richard draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR. He blends tools to match each person’s needs, using exercises, perspective shifts, and coping skills to reduce distress and improve functioning. Clients can expect a calm, direct style that emphasizes problem solving and new ways to respond to old patterns.
He pays attention to how life roles and family history affect choices and relationships. Work on anger, communication problems, and fatherhood issues is framed around practical steps people can try between sessions. With six years of professional experience, Richard has worked in independent practice and in settings that included support for people pursuing recovery from substance use.
He offers sessions in English and provides multiple online formats for those who prefer remote care.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change reactions and behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used as a structured way to address traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact through phased processing.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences, then try techniques that match what the person needs. If an approach doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, homework exchanges, and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people keep therapy going around work, family, and life demands.
