About Richard
Richard McCune, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, and depression, and he says he uses relaxing techniques, mindful meditation, person-centered therapy, and cognitive behavior therapy. Sessions welcome all adults and are conducted in English.
Richard uses a straightforward style in sessions. He teaches relaxation and breathing skills and guides mindfulness practice. He also uses person-centered conversational work to follow what the client brings and cognitive behavior techniques to identify and change stressful thoughts and behaviors.
He describes the mind, body, and spirit as parts of recovery and brings that perspective into treatment choices. That can mean pairing relaxation work with thought-focused exercises. It can also mean talking about beliefs and values alongside coping skills.
Richard notes experience with a range of issues people commonly bring to therapy. Examples he lists include post-traumatic stress disorder, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, chronic pain, and coping skills for everyday stressors.
His practice also notes additional focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues, cancer, chronic illness and disability, communication problems, control issues, disaster-related stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, first responder issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, men’s issues, and midlife concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Richard lists relaxation techniques and mindful meditation as part of his work. Relaxation techniques focus on breathing, progressive muscle release, and brief exercises to lower physical tension and improve sleep. Mindful meditation teaches simple attention skills that can help reduce anxiety and increase present-moment awareness.He also uses person-centered methods and cognitive behavior therapy. Person-centered work emphasizes listening and following what the client brings to sessions. Cognitive behavior therapy identifies thoughts and behaviors that contribute to mood and stress and then practices concrete changes to those patterns.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins during a workday or let someone choose audio rather than video when that better fits their routine.
