About Richard

Richard Ingram-Hegenbart is an LCPC practicing in Montana with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and career or motivation difficulties while attending to self-esteem and confidence concerns.

Background and approach

His work also addresses relationship and family dynamics, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting and caregiver stress, and a range of related challenges such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and impulsivity. He emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients are invited to share thoughts and feelings openly.

That client-centered stance is paired with practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-oriented approaches, as well as existential and mindfulness-informed interventions when appropriate. The therapist frames therapy as a process that unfolds together, helping clients identify patterns, explore meaning, and build concrete coping strategies.

Richard works with adults from varied backgrounds and accepts international clients, offering sessions in English. He encourages people to acknowledge the courage involved in reaching out and supports each person in taking the next steps toward clearer goals and more manageable daily functioning.

Applying Practical Approaches to Online Therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against experience, then developing concrete skills to change behaviors and emotional responses; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and early bonds to understand how current relationships and intimacy issues are influenced by past experiences, which can support work on connection, abandonment, and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to weigh goals, personal preferences, and presenting concerns to determine whether CBT, attachment work, or other approaches like client-centered or mindfulness-informed strategies fit best, and the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into busy lives, and they allow people in different locations to access a licensed professional in Montana who accepts international clients.
