Hello-My name is Richard (Rick) Lally. I graduated with a master's degree in clinical psychology from Connecticut College and have been working in behavioral health for 25 years. I also have been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina for the past 20 years. I am adept at and have utilized a variety of counseling modalities, including but not limited to solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and mindfulness. Secondary to the type of therapy I use is the importance of establishing and maintaining a strong and healthy therapeutic relationship with each individual I support. By doing so, I have been able to help individuals from diverse backgrounds with a wide array of issues; depression, grief/loss, stress, anger, relationship distress to name a few. Regardless of whether your need for seeking counseling is one of these matters or something else, please reach out to me and give me the chance to see if I can offer some relief. I welcome the opportunity to meet you.

Rick is really good at what he does, his passion for helping people is evident in how he talks with you. He cracks jokes and it really helps.

Rick has been so wonderful to talk to. He is warm, funny, empathetic and also just the right amount of no-nonsense. I was so pleasantly surprised by how well we connected despite our outward differences. He helped me talk through my grief and understand what I was going through while often making me laugh. I wish him nothing but the best - I'm off to live my life, but will definitely be back if I need a friend to lean on. :)

Richard has been very supportive through a difficult time and offers useful, practical advise and reassurance. He can use humour to lighten the mood when necessary but also seems very aware when things require a more delicate or serious tone. I have been grateful for his support.

Thank you for fantastic advice and help over the last few months. It’s really helped me connect on a more deeper level with my fiancé, family and friends. Your humour mixed with sound advice has really helped me realise the person I am. Thank you.

Richard has experience and a great sens of humor. This is very important to me, because no matter how hard the waves hit you, you`ll better be able to surf them. Humor helps me to do so. He absolutely understood my problem(s), came right to the point and offered me a extremely helpful way out of the bad situation I was in in May. I feel extremely better now. Neithertheless: It was me who had to do the work - and Richard is very clear about this. I would say: Let him help you.

I am so grateful and lucky that I am matched with Rick as my counselor. He simply holds the space for me in a way that is boundless and infinite. He deeply listens and always moves the conversation forward while keeping the flow of what I am ready for to share and discuss.
He is warm, friendly, quite compassionate, open to other cultures and with a great sense of humor.
I feel very comfortable talking with him and expressing myself freely.
Rick, I cannot thank you enough for what you do. You are helping me to see the light at the end of tunnel.

Richard is very understanding and cooperative. He has a great sense of humour. He holds me accountable for my progress when I need it and I respect that. He is a great listener and is very laid back. He is encouraging and stands for fairness and honesty. I am glad to have him as a counsellor and would gladly recommend to a friend.

I immediately felt comfortable with Richard, he shows much interest in helping you sort out your problems and I would recommend him without hesitation to those looking for someone to show interest in you and what it will take from where you are to where you would like to be.

Rick is the perfect counselor for me, and I couldn’t have been luckier in getting paired with him. He’s spent year working with military service members like myself and I feel like he is a subject matter expert on mentally bringing us home from war.
