About Rick
Rick Clements is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 25 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, addictions, anger, depression, ADHD and other life transitions.
Rick starts by getting to know each person and by identifying the challenges that feel most urgent. He helps people name what is happening now and looks for practical steps to move forward. He offers tools people can try between sessions and checks progress regularly so adjustments can be made.
Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world skills rather than jargon. Conversations include looking at past influences such as childhood experiences or attachment patterns, and how these affect day-to-day choices and relationships. He also addresses issues like fatherhood, adoption and foster care, family of origin concerns, and forgiveness when those themes arise.
Rick has spent much of his career working with people through major life changes, end-of-life and hospice concerns, and the moral fatigue that can come from caregiving roles. He applies straightforward problem solving alongside coaching elements when people want practical action plans for work, career, or parenting stress.
People meet with him to talk through anger that shows up with partners, at work, or around resentment and chronic frustration. He helps them identify triggers, try new responses, and track what actually changes over time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Rick describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and changing patterns. One common approach teaches people how thoughts and reactions influence feelings and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, anger, and low mood by offering concrete strategies to test in daily life. Another approach looks at past relationships and attachment patterns to understand how those early experiences affect present relationships and trust, which can help with intimacy, parenting, and family-of-origin concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and how they prefer to learn - whether that means practicing new responses, working through past hurt, or creating a step-by-step action plan. Progress is checked regularly and techniques are adjusted as needed.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint helps. It can also let people use video when they want face-to-face interaction or a phone call when bandwidth or a simpler check-in is better. These practical choices help integrate therapy into everyday life.
