About Richard
Richard Banton, LCSW, offers a practical, wellness-focused approach to therapy. He draws on 25 years of experience to help people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, or major life changes. He works in a straightforward way, inviting clients to see how thoughts and consciousness shape daily experience and to build new ways of responding.
He frames therapy around mental wellness rather than mental illness. That means he asks clients to believe change is possible and to take an active role in the process. He uses simple concepts to show how people often create their own painful moments and how those patterns can be interrupted.
Sessions focus on understanding what happens in the mind, noticing unhelpful habits, and practicing alternatives. Techniques come from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help with emotion regulation, coping, and decision making. The work aims to increase calm, clarity, and confidence.
Richard has worked across several states and brings long-term clinical experience to each appointment. He helps people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and a wide range of other issues. He also supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns.
The tone in sessions is respectful and down-to-earth. Richard offers guidance while inviting clients to test new ways of thinking and acting. He encourages steady, practical steps toward more peaceful daily life.
