About Richard

Dr. Richard Moyer is a licensed psychologist based in California. He holds a Doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology and has practiced for 14 years as CA Psychologist 21503. He uses straightforward, empathic conversation to help people tackle problems that feel overwhelming.

His work often focuses on self esteem, depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. He also helps people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, career uncertainty, addiction concerns, and grief. He pays attention to how meaning and purpose shape daily choices and mood.

In sessions he combines practical strategies with deeper reflection. That can mean learning new habits and ways of thinking, talking through difficult feelings, and noticing patterns that get in the way. He aims to help clients find small, doable changes they can try between meetings.

Dr. Moyer has a background working with LGBT communities and with people involved in kink, BDSM, and alternative sex cultures. He has also worked with students and technology professionals who feel isolated or emotionally stuck. His style is direct, curious, and often gently humorous.

People seeking help with issues like seasonal mood shifts, fatherhood questions, communication problems, or questions about sexuality and life purpose may find his mix of practical tools and existential questioning useful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Dr. Moyer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy in his practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building new behaviors through concrete exercises, which can help with anxiety, depression, and self esteem. Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, values, and life purpose to help people clarify what matters and make choices aligned with those values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He aims to collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and day-to-day needs. That means trying practical exercises, checking what helps, and adapting the plan based on feedback and progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and provide flexibility for short check-ins or regular meetings. Many people appreciate being able to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving, and Dr. Moyer will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life.
