About Richard

Richard Navis is a Michigan licensed clinician with 14 years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. He holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and brings a steady, empathetic presence to the therapeutic relationship. Richard focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where individuals can share their thoughts and feelings and begin to explore practical ways to manage difficult emotions and life transitions.

He works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and develop coping skills tailored to their situation, honoring the courage it takes to seek help. Richard aims to meet clients where they are, offering support for a wide range of concerns including parenting and family difficulties, addictions, anger, and the ongoing effects of trauma. He values clear communication and a respectful working alliance that encourages growth and resilience as clients navigate change and healing.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Richard acknowledges that first step as a meaningful commitment to well-being. He encourages prospective clients to reach out when they are ready to explore support and practical strategies for moving forward.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Richard Navis applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in an online format to help clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. He often uses skills-based coping strategies that teach practical tools for managing intense emotions, reducing overwhelm, and improving daily functioning. These strategies focus on concrete methods clients can practice between sessions to gain more stability and control.

He also employs trauma-informed approaches that emphasize safety, pacing, and emotional regulation for people affected by past or recent traumatic experiences. This work helps clients process difficult memories and build stronger coping responses without pushing beyond their readiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Richard works with each person to determine which techniques align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers flexibility to meet clients where they are. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life changes occur. These options help licensed professionals and therapists deliver consistent, effective support in a way that respects each client’s circumstances.
