About Richard
Richard Broach is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 25 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for everyday life.
He combines several approaches to find what fits each person. Richard looks at life like a puzzle - work, relationships, past experiences, health, and daily habits all matter.
Background and approach
He asks simple questions and listens closely to how those pieces connect before suggesting changes. Richard encourages a SANE routine - sleep, activities, nutrition, and exercise - because those basics shape mood and energy. He models these habits himself and offers concrete steps people can try between sessions.
Sessions tend to focus on small, doable changes that add up over time. Narrative ideas are part of his work, helping people reframe life stories that feel stuck or limiting. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and emotion-focused practices to tailor support.
The mix depends on what a person needs. People may find Richard’s style straightforward and conversational. He aims for real conversation rather than jargon.
That makes it easier to test new ways of coping and measure what actually helps in daily life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Richard directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Richard integrates Narrative Therapy to help people retell difficult life chapters in ways that feel less stuck; this can shift how someone sees past events and their current choices. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting led by them and then committing to small actions that match core values. Client-centered work rounds this out by prioritizing the person’s own goals and pacing, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection rather than directives.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Richard will collaborate with each person to decide which combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting over time rather than committing to a single method up front.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels simpler than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical steps and real-life progress.
