About Richard
Richard McCune is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with eight years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, bipolar disorder, and depression. He also supports people dealing with guilt and shame and related concerns such as forgiveness, grief, chronic illness, and relationship strain.
Richard uses a mix of practical methods in sessions. He offers relaxing techniques and guided mindful meditation to help lower tension. He uses person-centered approaches to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He also uses cognitive behavior therapy to look at thoughts and habits that keep problems going.
He draws attention to how mind and body interact. That means talking about sleep, physical pain, and daily routines alongside feelings and thoughts. He also acknowledges spiritual concerns when clients bring those up and explores how they affect healing.
As a veteran and a Disabled American Veteran, he has experience with military-related stress and trauma and with challenges veterans often face returning to civilian life. He describes supporting people through post-traumatic stress symptoms, anxiety, depression, and coping skills training.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than vague promises. Clients work on specific skills, practice calming routines, and try small changes between sessions. People who need help sorting feelings of guilt or shame can bring those topics directly into the conversation.
Sessions are conducted in English. Richard accepts international clients as well as those in New Jersey. Costs vary with location, and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Richard uses cognitive behavior techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-world experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and guilt that is tied to recurring thought patterns. Relaxing techniques and mindful meditation are used to reduce physical tension and improve sleep by teaching short practices you can repeat daily.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different methods and collaborate with the client to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection can change over time as progress is reviewed together.
The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a day and fewer travel barriers. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to commute so clients can spend more time on breathing practices or following a sleep plan between meetings.
