About Rickey
Rickey McGregor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and career direction. He works in straightforward, respectful ways so people can start making changes without feeling judged.
Rickey keeps sessions practical and focused. He listens first, then helps set clear goals for short- and longer-term work. Sessions combine talk, skills practice, and steps to try between meetings so progress continues outside the session time.
Background and approach
He often uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop different responses. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotions and attachment patterns are central to the problem. These approaches are used to address issues such as depression, trauma and abuse, family problems, and intimacy-related struggles.
Rickey has 13 years of experience working in behavioral health settings. He aims to adapt methods to each person’s situation, whether the focus is on communication, grief and forgiveness, caregiver stress, or coping after a disaster. He supports people facing blended family issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, and related life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English for residents of Washington. Rickey emphasizes collaboration: he and the person decide what to try, how to measure progress, and when to adjust the plan.

How CBT and EFT work in online therapy
Rickey often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that increase stress or anger. CBT focuses on practical steps to test those thoughts and try different responses, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional bonds and attachment patterns are central. EFT helps people name core emotions, track how they respond in close relationships, and practice new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and increase understanding.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rickey will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is tracked. He encourages people to set measurable steps so both therapist and client can see what is helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful when visual cues matter and a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can be a flexible way to get brief support, practice new skills, or check progress between sessions.
