About Fredric
Dr. Fredric Richmond welcomes parents who are juggling stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or sleep and eating difficulties. He is a Pennsylvania psychologist with 43 years of experience.
He listens first and helps people find practical steps to feel steadier. Dr. Richmond trained at Temple University and the University of Michigan and holds the credential PA Psychologist PS005061L.
He has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings across a long career.
Background and approach
That background means he has experience with complex emotional and behavioral issues in adults. In sessions he starts by asking what matters most to the person in front of him. He uses a client-centered stance to understand each person’s values and goals.
Then he draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to try small, achievable experiments that change thoughts and actions. Therapy is collaborative. He will help build short-term strategies to ease immediate distress.
He also works with people to develop longer-term ways of handling repeated problems like anger, avoidance, or relationship conflicts. Parents may find his style useful for coaching around parenting stress, fatherhood issues, and family-of-origin concerns. He is comfortable addressing issues such as compassion fatigue, fertility and caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout from separation or loss.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled by following the platform’s matching and booking steps. Dr. Richmond aims to hear what you need and help you move toward clearer choices.

How his approaches translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on understanding what matters to each person. In practice that means the therapist asks about values, priorities, and what a better day looks like, then tailors conversations to those goals. This approach helps with parenting stress, caregiver strain, and feeling heard during difficult life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions often include short exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage anger. That makes it useful for parents who want concrete tools between check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist collaborate to pick techniques that fit the person’s needs and daily life.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a lighter option or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or share brief updates without scheduling a full call.
