About Rick

Rick Clements is a Utah licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, relationships, grief, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions, and also supports those dealing with attachment and fatherhood concerns.

Rick focuses on understanding how a person’s past and family patterns affect their present life. He talks with clients about the roles and expectations they grew up with and how those habits show up now. Sessions aim to identify the most pressing problems and find clear, practical steps forward.

He uses tools and strategies to help people manage emotion, improve relationships, and build better day-to-day routines. Rick checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan when needed. The work can include coaching elements for career or purpose questions alongside therapy for mood and coping.

Over 25 years he has worked with a wide range of people, including those dealing with adoption and foster care history, attachment issues, and caregiving or end-of-life concerns. He also addresses men’s issues, midlife and young adult transitions, and challenges like ADHD and sleep problems.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online therapy options.

How Rick integrates therapy approaches in online sessions

Rick describes his work as focused on understanding family patterns and finding practical steps to change them. Two commonly used evidence-based techniques for that aim are cognitive behavioral approaches and attachment-focused practices. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at thoughts and behaviors that keep a person stuck and teach concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, sleep, or anger. Attachment-focused work looks at how early relationships shape expectations and closeness, and helps people try new ways of relating and regulating emotions.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about their needs and goals, try methods that fit, and check progress together. Adjustments are made over time so the work remains relevant to the person’s life and priorities.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, doing sessions remotely can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Remote sessions also let people keep consistent contact when they are handling caregiving, work, or relocation challenges.
