I am a Therapist who operates within a Christian worldview. Most of my experience has been with clients experiencing addiction issues, family issues, and marital issues. My clinical perspective is based in truth, reality, connection, and resilience.
Most clients would describe as a tender warrior. I am very supportive and encouraging while also keeping a focus on action, accountability and honesty.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Richard has been a great help to me.
Rich is the best therapist I have ever had. He listens well and gives feedback. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for therapy.
Mr Richard is very understanding and gives the advice needed to push forward. Extremely good listener and seems to genuinely care about you and your life. Would highly recommend him.
I was intimidated to start therapy for the first time, but Rich has made the process easy and encouraging. He has helped me build confidence to know that I'm able to take better control of my own mental health.
Richard has helped me tremendously! I have been to a few other therapist and no one has listened and cared like he does. He is very encouraging and never judges. He gives advice and sends links to articles to backup his advice. He has been the best therapist I’ve ever been to.
I absolutely love working with Richard. He is by far my favorite therapist and do not plan on ever reaching out to anyone else. He listens very well and responds even better.
Rich, has been very understanding and got to the root of my issue pretty quickly!
Richard Barbee is wonderful! In all my years of therapy, I've never had anyone whom I feels listens so attentively and follows up with me. I have learned even more about myself and possibly why I am the person I am. He puts things in perspective, and I'm seeing a lot of growth through our sessions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking therapy.
