About Richard
Richard Champion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 25 years of practice in substance use and mental health. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, anger, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients.
He focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions. He helps identify patterns that keep problems going and then tries small changes to test what works. That might include changing unhelpful thoughts, building small routines, or practicing new ways of talking about difficult topics.
Richard has long experience with underserved populations and with issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness and disability, and relationship conflicts such as communication and commitment problems. He also notes work with antisocial personality concerns, attachment issues, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder among his focus areas.
His approach draws on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used to address emotion regulation, motivation for change, and practical problem solving rather than as abstract labels.

BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Richard commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT typically involves setting concrete goals, practicing skills between sessions, and reviewing what worked or didn’t work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach he draws on; it focuses on clarifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and taking committed action toward chosen goals.These methods are described and tested collaboratively. The therapist and client look at current problems, try an approach, and adjust based on what the client needs and prefers. Finding the best fit is an on-going conversation rather than a fixed plan.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Working online also allows practicing skills in the settings where struggles occur, so techniques can be tried between sessions and reviewed the next meeting.
