Richard "Rich" Yeager

Richard "Rich" Yeager, LPC, helps people who feel worn down by stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. He also supports those carrying the weight of trauma and abuse, and people dealing with relationship pain or communication breakdowns. He writes plainly: you don’t have to keep pretending you’re okay.

Rich keeps sessions direct and grounded. He combines practical clinical tools with reflective work aimed at understanding patterns from the past. That includes attention to attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, and the ways trauma can affect trust and intimacy.

People come to him to stop repeating old patterns. He focuses on boundary setting, rebuilding self-worth, and learning clearer ways to speak up. He also helps clients who are recovering from toxic relationships, going through divorce or separation, or facing difficult family dynamics like blended family stress.

Over his 10 years of practice as a licensed professional counselor he has worked with issues such as dissociation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and mood regulation concerns. He uses practical steps so clients can try new behaviors between sessions and see what works.

Rich offers straightforward, supportive guidance aimed at making daily life feel more manageable. He encourages people who are ready to stop surviving and start rebuilding to take the first step toward change.

Approaches that guide online work and healing

Rich describes his work as a blend of grounded clinical tools and reflective, relational work. One core approach focuses on trauma recovery and processing; this helps people name what happened, understand its effects, and practice new ways of relating and calming intense reactions. Another emphasis is on boundary setting and communication training, which teaches practical phrases and strategies for saying no, asking for needs, and reducing people-pleasing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which skills or healing paths to prioritize.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for working without being on camera. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice new communication skills between meetings and to maintain steady progress while juggling everyday responsibilities.
