Richard Titus, LMHC

Richard Titus is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 35 years of clinical experience. He offers a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and help people move forward. He speaks English and works with people facing a wide range of concerns.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change, and Solution-Focused Therapy supports setting small, clear goals that build momentum. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.

Clients come with many kinds of problems, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strains, anger, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and career or life-change issues. Titus aims to tailor the plan to the specific situation rather than applying one fixed method.

His style is described as warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental. He avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on treating people with respect and sensitivity. That approach often means working on skills, short-term goals, and real-world steps between sessions.

Richard offers online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients may be supported in English. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How CBT and Brief Therapies Work Online

The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person's own reasons to change and resolving mixed feelings about taking steps forward. Solution-Focused Therapy aims at small, practical goals so progress can be seen quickly and built on.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work for quick check-ins, homework prompts, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
