Richard Champion, LCSW, CSW

Richard Champion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with 25 years of experience. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, and depression. He also focuses on related issues like attachment problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and separation or divorce.

He describes a practical, straightforward way of working that highlights clients' existing strengths. Sessions typically look at current problems and concrete steps people can try between meetings. Richard draws on familiar, evidence-based tools to help with things like managing anger, reducing anxious reactions, and making difficult decisions around relationships and caregiving.

Much of his background is in substance abuse and mental health services, including work with underserved communities. That experience informs how he talks about stress, coping, and the effects of trauma. He aims to be direct and clear about the options people can try.

Richard uses approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. He applies these methods without relying on jargon, explaining strategies in plain terms and practicing skills in session.

People who come because of parenting strain, chronic health concerns, or intense anxiety can expect focused, step-by-step conversations. He helps people plan practical actions and checks in on what worked and what did not. The emphasis is on usable skills rather than abstract theory.
