About Richard
Richard Komm is a licensed psychologist in Arizona with 40 years of professional experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship problems, and phobias. He speaks English and aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.
He focuses on creating a conversational, individualized plan instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, and he adjusts pacing and goals as the work progresses.
Background and approach
That practical approach helps people address everyday problems and larger emotional challenges. His work includes support for grief, parenting concerns, bipolar mood problems, and issues related to aging, chronic illness, or pain. He also helps with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, social anxiety, and compulsive behaviors.
These are addressed through structured talk and strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Richard emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. He aims to listen first, then suggest steps that fit each person's life and comfort level.
The focus is on clear, manageable change rather than technical jargon. For people who are ready to begin, he guides them through a straightforward start-up process that includes a brief questionnaire and scheduling. That first contact is treated as a practical planning step toward clearer goals and steadier routines.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear steps you can try between sessions. One common approach is structured problem-focused work that breaks issues into smaller parts and builds coping skills for anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias. This helps people practice specific techniques and track progress week to week.Another approach is trauma-informed talk that prioritizes safety and pacing while addressing painful memories or reactions. That style aims to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning by teaching calming strategies and gradual exposure to feared situations.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals, review what has or hasn’t worked before, and suggest options that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust methods and pace as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can work for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats aim to give flexibility while continuing consistent, evidence-based care.
