About Richard
Richard Broach is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Wisconsin with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration issues, life purpose, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and process addictions.
He uses a practical, piece-by-piece way of looking at problems. He asks about current routines, past experiences, relationships, work, and ongoing stresses. Then he helps people see how those pieces fit together so they can try different responses.
Richard encourages a SANE lifestyle - attention to Sleep, Activities, Nutrition, and Exercise - and talks through how daily habits affect mood and energy. He models these routines in his own life while helping others experiment with small, measurable changes.
His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness. That mix is used to notice unhelpful thoughts, shift behavior, and practice new ways of relating to emotions.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. He focuses on concrete skills, short experiments, and planning practical steps between meetings. People leave with specific ideas to try in day-to-day life and ways to track whether those steps are helping.
Richard offers services in English and Spanish and practices in Wisconsin. Prospective clients are invited to review session options and scheduling details before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Richard uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on simple exercises, homework, and tracking what changes between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and teach ways to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Client-Centered methods keep conversation focused on the person’s experience and goals rather than a fixed agenda.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will review your goals, priorities, and daily routines and suggest methods to try. Together they decide which practices to use and how to measure progress so the work stays practical and goal-oriented.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows people to practice skills in their everyday environment and bring real situations to the next session for review.
