Dr. Richard Moyer

Dr. Richard Moyer is a clinical psychologist practicing in California. He holds a CA Psychologist credential (CA Psychologist 21503) and has practiced for 14 years. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and feelings of isolation and loneliness.

He trained at the California School of Professional Psychology and completed early clinical work at community and university counseling centers. That background shaped his mix of practical and reflective methods. He aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments in thinking and behavior, and develop clearer life priorities.

In sessions he uses straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. He blends ideas from cognitive-behavioral approaches with existential perspectives and motivational interviewing. The goal is to reduce distress, improve coping, and help people make choices that match their values.

He also brings experience with substance use concerns, sexuality and kink-affirming topics, fatherhood issues, and young adult transitions. He often works with people navigating career questions, grief, seasonal mood changes, or struggles with self-esteem and shame.

People who prefer a thoughtful, curious style may find his approach fits. He combines practical strategies with attention to meaning and identity questions. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

Approaches that translate to online work

Dr. Moyer often draws on cognitive-behavioral work that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is practical and helps with depression, anxiety, and changing unhelpful habits by testing new ways of thinking and behaving. He also uses existential ideas that focus on meaning, values, and identity; these conversations help when people face life changes, loneliness, or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That planning can include short goal-focused work or longer conversations about identity and life direction.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions helpful for steady weekly work, while others use them for targeted goal-setting and homework review. The therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling and focus during the first meetings.
