About Richard

Richard "Rich" Yeager, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, anger, and depression. He speaks plainly and offers a direct, grounded approach for those tired of pretending everything is fine. Rich invites honesty and clear goals rather than quick fixes.

Rich brings 10 years of professional experience in Colorado. He works with people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, commitment fears, and communication breakdowns. He also supports those coping with dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and mood or behavioral challenges such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and avoidant or dependent personality patterns.

Sessions focus on practical steps alongside deeper emotional work. Rich combines trauma recovery, boundary setting, inner-child work, and relationship repair in ways that connect to daily life. Expect straightforward conversation, targeted strategies, and attention to what feels stuck in relationships or self-worth.

People who come to Rich often want to stop repeating hurtful patterns and rebuild healthier ways of relating. He helps clients name old survival habits, practice clearer communication, and try new behaviors that align with their values. The work aims to be honest, steady, and outcome-oriented without rushing the process.

If someone is ready to address long-standing pain and reclaim a sense of self in relationships, Rich supports that effort with direct guidance and clinical experience. To begin, follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session according to availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rich uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that mix practical skills with emotional repair. One approach focuses on trauma recovery, helping people process painful memories and reduce their hold on current relationships. This work aims to identify triggers, practice grounding skills, and rebuild trust in everyday interactions.

Another strand centers on boundary setting and relationship repair. That involves learning to name needs, communicate directly, and practice new behaviors so relationships change in measurable ways. It is useful for communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, and blended-family stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist review what’s working and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to one method rigidly.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit their energy level, such as shorter conversations when needed. Licensed professionals help clients shape a schedule and approach that fit daily routines and therapeutic goals.
