About Clarence "Rick" Haynes

Clarence "Rick" Haynes, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings 35 years of experience helping people navigate difficult moments and everyday challenges. He recognizes that life can become overwhelming, leaving individuals feeling anxious, depressed, indecisive, or diminished in self-esteem. When worry and overthinking take hold, functioning at work and home often suffers, and reaching out for support is an important first step toward improvement.

He emphasizes the value of a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for honest exploration and meaningful change. In sessions he offers a calm, steady space where people can examine emotions, clarify problems, and build practical strategies. Work begins from the client’s current situation, moves at a comfortable pace, and focuses on tangible steps that help a person regain a sense of control and forward momentum.

He blends interventions that include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and supportive psychotherapy to help people shift unhelpful thinking and respond differently to difficult feelings. Together they set goals and address problems in a practical, hands-on way. When appropriate, he may suggest keeping a journal to increase awareness of thought patterns, because recognizing those patterns is often essential for change.

He welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with individuals who are ready to take steps toward feeling better and handling life’s transitions more effectively.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to continue care during life changes.

Therapists and licensed professionals offering remote sessions use established therapeutic methods to help clients set goals, learn new skills, and address emotional challenges. If the fit is not right, it is possible to switch to a different therapist until the match feels constructive and supportive.
