Richard Broach

Richard Broach, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and changes in life. He uses clear, straightforward conversation to help clients sort through painful experiences and find what matters to them. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and draw on his 25 years of counseling experience in Wisconsin.

He frames problems like pieces of a puzzle. Together with a client he lays out the pieces - current stresses, past wounds, relationships, work, and health - to see how they fit. That view guides practical steps rather than abstract labels. He also encourages developing a SANE lifestyle, focusing on Sleep, Activities, Nutrition, and Exercise as part of daily care.

Richard blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches shape conversations and specific strategies in sessions.

He aims for conversations that help people locate their own strengths. That means listening first, then helping set small, doable steps toward change. He describes treatment as collaborative work where the client’s values and goals drive decisions.

His background includes long-term clinical work in Wisconsin and a focus on issues such as gender dysphoria, multicultural concerns, immigration, aging, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and process addictions. He asks people to confirm current session options before scheduling.

How Richard’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Richard commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing past injuries so they interfere less with daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action, helping people move toward what matters even when strong feelings are present.

He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and following the client's lead so they feel understood. Together, these approaches shape a practical, value-driven process that aims to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build everyday habits that support well-being.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean focusing more on trauma processing, on learning new behavior skills, or on clarifying values and routines.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose sessions that match their day - for example, an appointment that fits a lunch break or an evening slot after work.
