Richard Ingram-Hegenbart

Richard Ingram-Hegenbart is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on common pressures adults face, including stress, anxiety, career uncertainty, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses relationship and family worries, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD concerns, and trauma or abuse-related issues.

In sessions he works in a straightforward, conversational way. He listens to what matters now and helps people name the problems that feel most urgent. He uses clear techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and to improve day-to-day coping. Conversations aim to be practical and understandable rather than technical.

His approach draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at close relationships and how past bonds affect current choices. He also uses client-centered methods that keep the person’s own goals central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot and shift thinking patterns that contribute to stress and low mood.

He pays attention to life purpose and meaning when that feels important, helping people consider what matters after a change. Mindfulness practices are offered to calm racing thinking and to improve focus. Existential themes may come up when people question direction or meaning in life.

Richard helps people work through practical issues like communication problems, commitment worries, impulsivity, codependency, and caregiver stress. He also supports parents and fathers who are managing role strain and family conflict. Sessions balance skills practice with reflective conversation to help people move forward in manageable steps.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Richard blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that suit common life problems. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce stress, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and communication patterns, which can be useful for intimacy, commitment, and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Richard will talk through what feels most important, try methods that fit the client’s goals, and adjust the plan as needs change. This is a collaborative process that pairs practical techniques with reflective discussion to help people weigh next steps in their life or career.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or reduce the need to travel. Some approaches work well with focused skill practice, while others suit longer reflective conversations; he will help decide what best matches a client’s current needs.
