Rick Clements, LCSW

Rick Clements is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who centers therapy on connection and honest self-expression. He believes life gets complicated and that asking for help is a sensible step when things feel out of control. He says many factors can shape where someone is today, including childhood experiences, trauma, relationships, and choices made over time. His goal is to help people recognize where they are now and move toward healthier ways of living.

Rick focuses on learning about each person’s most pressing concerns before suggesting practical steps. He talks through problems with clients, explores possible solutions, and offers tools they can try between sessions. He also stays involved as people practice those skills, checking progress and adjusting plans when needed.

Over a 25-year career he has worked with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional areas he addresses include adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin issues, fatherhood, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life concerns, intellectual disability, life purpose, men’s issues, midlife concerns, and young adult issues.

Rick practices in Utah and offers services in English. He accepts international clients. He approaches each person as unique and works alongside them to find realistic, manageable ways forward.

To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
