About Richard
Richard Zwolinski is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 40 years of professional experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and coaching. He also focuses on concerns linked to cancer, codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, men's issues, and workplace stress.
Richard keeps sessions direct and practical. He encourages clear talk about what is happening now and what someone wants to change. Conversations look at patterns that feed anger or resentment and at small steps that reduce flare-ups and regrets.
He helps people name triggers and build routines that lower stress and improve decision making. For those dealing with addictions or codependent habits, he combines straightforward discussion with strategies to manage urges and rebuild daily structure. Work-related tension and issues that come with a cancer diagnosis get focused attention on coping and problem solving.
Richard describes the first meetings as fact-finding and planning. He and the person map out realistic goals and simple practices to try between sessions. Progress is measured by clearer responses to triggers and fewer moments of regret.
Over four decades he has kept a hands-on approach. Sessions are conversational, often homework-oriented, and aimed at making everyday life easier to handle. People who want practical ways to manage anger and related problems will find a steady, experienced counselor in Richard.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach targets how thoughts and reactions fuel anger and stress; it teaches people to notice automatic reactions, test unhelpful thoughts, and try different responses. This helps with workplace frustration and everyday flare-ups. Another approach emphasizes behavioral skills such as relaxation routines, pacing, and urge-management strategies for addictions and codependency. Those tools are useful for reducing impulsive reactions and managing cravings.Choosing the right mix of techniques is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their goals and daily life. Together they decide which strategies to try and how to measure progress, adjusting the plan as needed.
