About Richard

Richard Broach is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin who works with people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, and identity-related concerns including LGBT and gender dysphoria.

Background and approach

He also addresses life transitions and a wide range of related issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration challenges, multicultural and prejudice-related stress, life purpose questions, and process addictions. With 25 years in counseling, he draws on a broad background to tailor care to each person's situation.

His style centers on viewing problems as interconnected pieces of a larger picture, helping clients map how present circumstances, relationships, past events, and daily habits interact.

That holistic stance is paired with practical lifestyle guidance focused on Sleep, Activities, Nutrition, and Exercise - what he refers to as a SANE lifestyle - because research links these areas to emotional and physical well-being. Richard emphasizes collaborative, heartfelt conversations that help people access their own inner resources and foster sustainable change.

He is fluent in English and Spanish and holds a Wisconsin LPC (WI LPC 3576-125).

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to meet and understand the different parts of themselves, offering a way to explore inner conflicts and trauma responses that often underlie anxiety and grief. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed actions aligned with those values while learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps clients feel heard and find their own direction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan. That exploration is part of the work and can shift as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds practical flexibility for fitting care into busy lives. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity between sessions, access support from different locations within Wisconsin, and use modalities that match a client's communication style and schedule.
