Richard Alford, LPC

Richard Alford is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience who supports individuals facing everyday transitions and more complex life challenges. He integrates foundational Christian values into therapy when clients seek spiritual guidance, and he incorporates inner healing and meaningful prayer as part of the therapeutic process. Richard works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, self-esteem, anger management, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, career matters, and coping with life changes.

His practice emphasizes a compassionate yet logical approach, helping people address communication problems, addictive behaviors, isolation, questions of life purpose, and wounds rooted in family dynamics. He brings particular attention to areas such as abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, emptiness, family of origin concerns, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

Clinically, Richard draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. He aims to create a holistic, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and pursue meaningful personal change while connecting with their faith and relationships as appropriate. Richard provides services in English and Spanish and works from his practice in Texas.
