Richard Ingram-Hegenbart, LCPC

Richard Ingram-Hegenbart is a Montana-licensed therapist who practices as an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and denotes formal clinical training and licensure to provide therapy in the state. With four years of professional experience, he works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, motivation and career concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence.

He also supports clients navigating relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting and caregiver stress, ADHD, and a range of attachment and abandonment concerns. Richard draws on a compassionate, collaborative stance to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He partners with clients to set goals and develop practical coping strategies that fit their lives.

Richard’s work addresses both immediate symptoms and underlying patterns such as codependency, communication struggles, control issues, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. He encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and aims to make beginning treatment approachable and respectful, supporting clients through transitions and the everyday work of building resilience and clearer direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Richard frequently uses attachment-based therapy to help clients understand how early relationships influence current patterns - this approach explores connection, separation, and how attachment styles affect intimacy and trust. He also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the client's own goals and experiences and emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration to foster self-understanding and growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another common tool he uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Richard works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access consistent support from wherever the client is located. These formats allow for ongoing work on goals, skills practice between sessions, and timely communication that accommodates busy or changing lives.
