Richard Krebs, LPC

Richard Krebs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with six years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and children. He combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with a compassionate, goal-oriented focus to help people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, trauma, substance-related concerns, panic, and suicidal ideation.

Much of his work has been carried out in private practice settings, and he also spent several months working in a drug rehabilitation program assisting people as they pursued sobriety and addressed the mental and emotional challenges that accompany recovery. Over the course of his career he has supported clients dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, self-esteem and identity concerns, workplace stress, and issues tied to family of origin and fatherhood.

As an LPC - a state-issued license that authorizes professional counseling - he draws on modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor treatment to each person. He works collaboratively to identify priorities, build coping skills, and develop practical strategies for long-term improvement.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Richard Krebs uses proven therapeutic methods to address a range of concerns in an online format. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping under pressure. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing of traumatic memories and related symptoms through structured interventions that can reduce the emotional charge tied to past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Richard works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, and then tailors interventions to fit their needs rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which lets people access licensed professionals from home, fit care into busy schedules, and continue work between sessions as needed.
