Richard Champion is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and CSW with 25 years of experience in substance use and mental health work in Colorado. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.

Richard draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address day-to-day problems. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing worry, and improving communication. He uses straightforward strategies to help people notice patterns from their past and test new ways of relating in the present.
Many clients come with concerns rooted in family of origin experiences, and Richard works with those patterns without blaming anyone. He helps people identify repeated roles and expectations they learned growing up, and then practice different choices for relationships and parenting.
He has long experience supporting people facing complex life situations, including chronic health issues, caregiving strain, and separation or divorce. His background includes extensive work with underserved populations and substance-related problems, which informs a practical, problem-focused approach to care.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address presenting problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and worry. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Motivational Interviewing (MI) supports people who are weighing change, using guided conversation to strengthen motivation and resolve mixed feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current challenges, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in actual sessions.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around caregiving, medical appointments, or work breaks. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and not needing to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques used in person to work in a remote setting when both parties agree on format and logistics.
