My therapy style is professional yet warm and interactive. I offer a holistic counseling experience; that combines attachment theory, structural family therapy and emotionally focus therapy principles, helping clients to develop mere useful interactional patterns of behavior in their relationships, overcome their challenges to achieve their personal goals and improve their competence, capacity, and productivity.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Eric is very knowledgeable and breaks things down to where anyone can understand. He asks the tough questions and really makes you think from a different perspective.

He was great! He listened and let us both express our concerns and gave beneficial feedback.

I truly enjoy our sessions, and appreciate how helpful he is.

Eric is very kind hearted, he is a great listener, and he gives great options to help you with many different needs! I have been very pleased with having Eric as my Therapist.

Mr. Richardson was the best thing for me, I’ve been so against therapy my whole life and now look forward to meeting with him every week. He is exceptional at listening to you and talking in a way that is comprehensive and helpful… It doesn’t matter what your reason to go to therapy is, everyone should consider Mr. Richardson

Great therapist!

Simply the best.

He is awesome

I’ve always wanted to try therapy but I was scared of it being too invasive. I’ve been very comfortable. I’m leaning how to be a better human, wife, mother … Mr. Richardson provides useful tools that are now apart of my every day practice. I am so glad I started this journey. I should have done this years ago. Better late than never!

Just now completing my first month with Eric and I wish I had done this sooner. He is great.

Eric is patient and kind. A straight shooter. He said things that were difficult to hear but very accurate and eye opening. I couldnt recommend a more supportive person.

Very sweet and kind, very helpful, and straightforward

Mr. Richardson is one of the best quality therapists that money can buy. He is relatable, he will explain situations to your understanding carefully, he will give you his knowledge and wisdom about what you can improve on and become. He is a 5 star therapist and I will recommend home to everyone!

Eric is absolutely phenomenal! This is my first time committing to therapy and he has made me very comfortable… He truly has a gift to carefully listen and provides great analogies that you personally can relate with, to convey a point. Plus… I don’t write reviews, that’s how highly recommended Eric is in my book.

The man is incredible. Period.

I am +40y and never had a therapy experience before. To be honest, I was quite skeptical when I started. However after just few sessions with Eric, the only question I had was: why it took me so long!? Thank you for all the wisdom and the support!

Eric has a been a godsend. He’s an expert and has been able to showcase great care and support for me during this time in my life. He’s a trustworthy, honest therapist and I have developed great deal of respect for his counsel. If you are looking for help to figure out the next best step- talk to Eric.

Mr. Richardson is a great listener. He allows you to talk and then offers his assessment which is generally spot on.

Eric is very caring and genuine. Seems like such a great person

Awesome therapist! He gives you the tools you need to be successful

Mr. Richardson has a great personality and makes the discussion of difficult subjects easier to talk about. He has exercises that are helpful in understanding different ideas and perspectives.

Time well spent

Mr Eric Richardson is great even though our time together has been brief I can tell that he is knowledgeable in his field and that he really loves what he does. I highly recommend him!!!

Very good person to talk to.

I have been through a lot these last months and Éric has always been like a lighthouse for me. He has helped me, in time of turbulence, identify and address my own needs and focus on matters that are most important to me. Thank you!

Dr. Richardson has been amazing for me. It’s only been two weeks, but he helps me focus on discovering my God-given purpose and helps me spend time thinking about how to be intentional about bringing the best out of each member of my family.

Very wise and tells it like it is. Gives. Very good and useful advice

He is a great guy and provides different perspectives on anything you are going through. Would recommend.

Eric has been a fantastic therapist. Our relationship is just beginning but already he has really helped me to begin unpacking some of the most difficult relationships in my life.

Mr. Richardson is very helpful. I also appreciate his conversational style therapy. It really allows you to open up.

Eric Richardson is incredibly intuitive and uses humor and stories very effectively to help patients develop insight. He is patient and thoughtful in his approach.

Working with Mr. Eric has been phenomenal. I have seen tremendous growth in my life and I can attribute that to his approach to therapy.

Thanks Eric. Within two sessions I was able to understand and come to terms of my feelings. There was a breakthrough and I am appreciative.

He’s awesome!

Eric is knowledgeable and a blessing to humanity. After few sessions with him, I could see the light coming on. Thank you for being a great resource and well of knowledge

Eric's wisdom is a beacon for those who need direction to move forward in life with positive experiences, and how to handle those moments when things don't quite go your way. I highly recommend. Especially for those who want a christian based perspective.

I enjoyed my first session with Eric… He made everything feel completely normal and I was ok with opening up to him about anything… I strongly recommend him for any therapy needed…

He listens and lets you know it’s alright to be feeling the way you are but offers a listening ear it’s refreshing to have someone who you can confide in

Eric listens and gives great advice. Sometimes it’s nice to have a friendly ear to listen and reassure you. He helps me figure out the puzzle pieces of life.

My first experience with therapy was with Eric and I could not have found a more impactful individual. Eric listens but is also curious to help, we worked through addiction and confidence setbacks. I would recommend Eric to anyone as his treatment greatly helped me to improve my well being!

It’s been very rewarding to work with you, Eric. I’m grateful for our time together!

Eric, is amazing. It's obvious to me he's an expert at his craft. He has given me new perspectives on many of the issues I personally face. He really makes me think about how I feel about certain issues, and why I feel that way. He makes me look at the things that bother me, and helps me understand why they bother me. It's astounding to me how quickly I've seen progress in my mental state, just by willing to try and follow his suggestions. I'm really glad I decided to reach out to him.

I have enjoyed talking with him, he's personable and he's so easy to talk to. Couldn't ask for a nicer therapist.

Amazing therapist!! You have been tremendous sir! Thank you for everything!

Eric is very sharp. After a single session, we are already working through reframing my thoughts. Seeking help with trauma, but also receiving help about work. I will say other counselors have been more flexible with schedule.

The best decision I've ever made is to choose Better Help. Eric Richardson is the therapist that was selected for me. He has been more than helpful in assisting me in navigating me through this difficult time in my life. I would definitely recommend his light-hearted therapy approach to anyone.

Extremely helpful and exceedingly knowledgeable! Definitely a wise brother in Christ!

Eric is a great listener and makes you feel at ease in his therapy approach. He listens, is empathetic and I appreciate his use of faith to bolster the therapy experience. I am very glad he was assigned to me during this difficult season in my life.

Best therapist I’ve ever had. Strongly understands my concerns and helps me works through my issues. Goes above and beyond and responds very quickly. Can’t suggest him enough.

He is very knowledgeable, empathetic and hands on in his approach. I left my first few sessions with techniques that I can use daily.
