About Richard

Richard "Rich" Yeager, LPC, helps people who are worn down by stress, anxiety, anger, trauma, and relationship struggles. He focuses on practical steps to stop people-pleasing, set healthier boundaries, and rebuild a sense of self. Rich is based in Colorado and has ten years of experience supporting men, women, and older teens.

Rich uses a straightforward, down-to-earth approach in sessions. He mixes clinical techniques with attention to emotional history, including work on attachment, abandonment wounds, and past abuse that still affects trust and intimacy. Conversations aim to be honest and focused rather than vague or vague promises.

Therapy with Rich often includes looking at how patterns developed and learning new ways to respond. This can mean practicing clearer communication, establishing limits, or addressing guilt and shame that keep someone stuck. He also supports people rebuilding after separation or working through domestic violence and dissociation-related impacts.

Sessions move at a steady, action-oriented pace while still allowing space for deeper emotional work like inner child healing and trauma recovery. Rich describes his style as grounded and direct, designed to produce change without unnecessary jargon. He helps people translate insight into everyday behavior.

Clients can expect a mix of problem-focused work and longer-term healing depending on needs. Rich draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as depression, anger, commitment concerns, and communication problems. He welcomes international clients and conducts work in English.

Approaches that guide online work and healing

Rich draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help both immediate problems and deeper patterns. One common approach focuses on trauma recovery and processing past harm so it stops shaping how someone trusts and connects. This work often involves naming what happened, tracking triggers, and developing new responses to painful memories.

Another approach centers on attachment and relationship repair. It looks at how early bonds influence current behavior and helps people practice clearer communication, boundary setting, and safer closeness. This can be useful for commitment issues, codependency, and improving how someone shows up in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rich will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. He checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions let them keep regular appointments, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity while juggling work and family demands.
