Richard Kepple, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Richard!

I work with individuals and couples using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). My approach is direct with humor and compassion.

My focus

I don't believe I have an 'ideal' client. My most influential work is with clients who truly desire change and are intentional about working through the process.

My approach

My approach is CBT and Narrative. I work primarily with couples because it is that population that seems to be more in need than any other. My approach is to begin with a conversation, and my goal is to understand a person's circumstances deeply and to meet them there.

My communication style

My tone is relaxed, engaged, and with a measure of humor mixed with compassion to help people live the lives they deserve.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started working with kids in a church ministry. Then I started working with kids in the Probation Department. I decided to return to school and get my degree in Counseling. I have worked with kids, families, adults, and couples since then.

My goals for you

I believe that people should be allowed the opportunity to hear what needs to be discussed based on my life experiences and training. I will be the first to admit that I don't know everything. I see myself as a coach and know that I have myself learned things from my work with my clients.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll start with a conversation to understand your circumstances and what brings you to therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are and begin building a collaborative relationship focused on the changes you want to make.
