Richard Gibbons, LMHC

Richard Gibbons is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 24 years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and depression. He also addresses relationship and family concerns and problems related to grief, trauma, sleep, and career strain.

Clients can expect a direct, respectful approach in sessions. He adjusts conversation and plans to fit what each person needs. Richard uses practical strategies and evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong emotions and reduce repetitive patterns of reacting.

His background includes long-term work with people facing life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and issues around codependency and communication. He has experience supporting men with relationship and commitment concerns and people coping with shame, guilt, or isolation.

Richard draws on several well-known approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered work. That mix lets him address addictive behavior, problematic thinking, and skills for handling anger and conflict.

Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can practice outside the room. He encourages straightforward conversation about what is and isn’t working. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session are the practical next steps.
