About Richard
Richard Ingram-Hegenbart is a licensed clinician practicing in Montana. He holds an LCPC and brings four years of professional experience to his work. He focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. He aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to reach out.
He builds sessions around a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what’s on their mind. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on steps that can help reduce distress. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different ways of responding.
Richard uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can include attachment-based ideas about relationships, client-centered listening that follows the client’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness and existential themes also appear when useful to explore values and meaning.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. People often work on clearer communication, boundary setting, coping skills for anxiety or sleep, and strategies for dealing with codependency or caregiver stress. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
Richard works with people facing life transitions, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse recovery, and issues linked to ADHD or autism traits. He accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. To begin, users follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How these approaches guide online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. In sessions this often means talking about how trust, boundaries, or fear of abandonment affect present relationships and everyday choices. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities, giving people space to set the pace and topics for each session.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thought patterns and habits that increase anxiety or low mood. It breaks problems into small steps and uses practical exercises to test new responses, which can help with sleep, worry, or impulsive behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, values, and comfort level. That may mean trying different techniques at first and adjusting what feels most helpful.
The practical benefits of online therapy are about fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let conversations focus on real-world situations the client is managing between sessions.
