Richard Lanham
I meet clients where they are in their journey and help them become the best version of themselves. I have been in counseling for 6 years and private practice for the last 3. I operate a solo-practice both in person and telehealth in rural central Kentucky from my farm and home.
First session
We will complete a Biopsychosocial Intake, begin to establish rapport and schedule future standing appointments for the near future.
Strengths
Person Centered approach, depends on client needs as to whether they need someone to sit quietly or push back. I do not force clients to do anything they aren't ready to do. My clients LOVE me.
Ideal clients
My ideal client would be someone that doesn't expect me to do all the work in the therapeutic relationship and that attends all their scheduled sessions ready to process and work through their issues each and every time. I operate from a person centered approach and do not offer advice unless asked. I am a great listener and try to meet clients where they are.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
This method works from the perspective that the client/patient controls everything. We move at a pace that the client chooses. 90% of my time as the therapist is listening, hearing your concerns and responding appropriately as needed
