About me
I am licensed in Florida and Georgia with 25 years of professional experience working with individuals and couples. Most of my experience is in helping clients with relationship issues--challenging the status quo, making connections, and in some cases separating or divorcing. Some of my former clients tell me they like my directness as we work together. If you have not explored your individual issues, I can help with those too. I am not a good fit for clients with addiction, domestic violence or faith-based issues. I prefer to work with clients who are ready to move beyond the "stable" ambiquity that characterizes their current lives--stuck in what is instead of moving to what feels more satisfying. I will tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I applaud you for getting started!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Richard Long. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Very happy to have him as a therapist. He’s been a great help and joy to work with and has allowed me to really explore different points of views and makes me feel comfortable to talk to.
Written on Jun 19, 2025 after therapy with Richard for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
I like the follow up. I love the classes and suggested books and articles to better myself between sessions.

Richard has been an incredible source of power, truth and expertise as I navigate becoming a better version of me for my myself and my relationship. I never feel judged and greatly appreciate the dialogue that Richard and I share, as well as the homework and suggestions he offers outside of our sessions (I.e. books, apps, even tapping exercises). Richard takes a wonderful approach and understands how to communicate with me, and that in itself has made this an excellent experience!

He is genuinely a nice guy who doesn’t come off as all knowing just a person like the rest of us while still being professional in processing trauma. He asked a slew of questions prior to coming to one conclusion which I appreciate even if some of the questions may be difficult. He is definitely helpful to me and my personal growth.
