Richard Henegar, LMFT

Richard Henegar is a California licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that clients can use day to day. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation. Taking the first step is often hard, and he encourages people who are ready to begin.

Over a 40-year career, Richard has guided people through motivation struggles and confidence rebuilding. He works with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive issues, trauma-related symptoms, and problems that follow brain injury. He also addresses relationship strains like blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and codependency.

In sessions he adapts the conversation and plan to each person’s needs. He uses practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. He draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship feelings are central.

Clients can expect straightforward talk about current problems, steps to try between sessions, and goal-based check-ins. He aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Progress is measured in concrete shifts like calmer reactions, steadier mood, and clearer communication.
