Richard Orona, LPC

Richard Orona is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting, anger, and bipolar issues. He speaks English and practices in Texas.

Orona draws on practical, research-based methods to help people find workable changes. He focuses on what matters in day-to-day life and on skills clients can use after sessions. His work is straightforward: identify the problem, try specific strategies, and adjust as progress is made.

He blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to target thoughts and behaviors that keep patterns going. Conversations aim to surface unhelpful thinking, then replace it with steps that lead to different actions. This approach is useful for reducing reactive anger, handling relationship conflict, and managing stress at work or home.

Richard’s background includes agency and private practice settings where he has worked with individuals, couples, and families. He emphasizes measurable steps - small experiments that build better habits over time. He also brings experience helping people with addictions, attachment concerns, blended family problems, and parenting stresses.

People who choose him can expect clear goals, concrete tools, and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, the usual process is to complete an intake and set a first session to map out specific objectives and next steps.
