About Richard
Richard Crowell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Utah with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are struggling with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and family concerns. He also supports those dealing with social anxiety, isolation, attachment issues, and problems that follow separation or divorce.
Richard aims to understand each person's life context and relationships. He pays attention to faith and identity when those matter to the client. Sessions focus on the everyday problems that make life harder, such as communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, or chronic illness and pain.
In practice he helps people talk through difficult emotions like guilt, shame, and anger. He also supports those coping with major losses, traumatic memories, or ongoing mood concerns. Many clients bring issues tied to family roles, blended family transitions, or concerns about impulsivity and dissociation.
Richard has worked with people affected by cancer, financial strain, and caregiving burdens. He has experience supporting those who report obsessive thoughts, self-harm behaviors, or experiences connected to military service and discrimination. That breadth informs how he responds when a problem crosses different parts of life.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is happening and practical steps to try between sessions. He listens for patterns in relationships and mood, then helps people test small changes that can reduce distress. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and emotional patterns. One common approach looks at how interactions with others influence mood and conflict and helps people try different ways of communicating and responding. Another common method works on managing intense emotions and reducing avoidance by practicing skills and short experiments between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and decide together which methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the plan for sessions and homework tasks.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is preferable. Many people find remote sessions help keep progress consistent during life transitions and caregiving demands, and therapists can adapt exercises and tools to work in virtual appointments.
