About Richard
Richard King is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 25 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, depression, and ADHD. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard and think through practical next steps.
Over his career he has helped people sort through family conflict and the pressure of parenting. He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, isolation, mood struggles, and social anxiety.
Background and approach
Sessions center on clear conversation about daily patterns and what gets in the way of change. Richard aims for straightforward, useful work. He listens first, then helps set small goals that fit a person’s life.
That can mean practicing new ways to manage impulsivity, improving communication, or finding relief from persistent worry. He combines long experience with practical strategies to reduce overwhelm. Meetings are paced to match how someone prefers to work, whether that’s step-by-step problem solving or deeper reflection on personal values and relationships.
People who reach out can expect a steady, patient approach focused on making everyday life feel more manageable. Richard supports people as they test new habits and notice what helps most.

Everything Richard lists, in the therapist's own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Richard helps people with.
How practical therapy techniques translate to online care
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing everyday patterns and improving coping. One common approach emphasizes short, focused skill practice to manage anxiety and impulsivity - this teaches simple tools to use when stress rises and supports clearer decision making. Another approach centers on improving communication and problem solving around family and parenting stress - sessions work on small behavior changes and clearer conversations to reduce repeated conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on skills practice, communication work, or a mix of strategies.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging make quick check-ins and short coaching-style exchanges possible without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting and caregiving lives.
