About Richard
Richard Alongi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with decades of experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, and life changes. He aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations to individual needs.
In sessions he listens for what matters most and helps clients build clearer goals.

Therapy can include looking at attachment patterns, emotional responses, and the stories people tell themselves about relationships and identity.
Richard draws on client-centered methods that place the person’s experience first, along with emotionally-focused and attachment-based work that looks at feelings and bonds. He also uses ideas from Jungian therapy to explore personal meaning and underlying themes in someone’s life.
He brings 36 years of professional experience as an LMFT in California to his practice. His areas of focus include grief, anger, intimacy and sexual concerns such as BDSM and kink, caregiving stress, ADHD-related struggles, and work or career stress. He helps people notice difficult patterns and test new ways of being.
