About Ricky
Ricky Jones is a licensed professional counselor with 34 years of experience. He practices in Delaware and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. He aims for straightforward conversations that lead to practical change.
He treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped to match what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Ricky listens first, then works with you to set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Ricky uses approaches that help people learn new skills and make different choices. He often teaches ways to notice thoughts and feelings, calm intense reactions, and improve communication. This can help with relationship strain, coping after loss, and problems with mood or addiction.
He believes starting therapy takes courage and that support should feel empowering. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with tools you can try between sessions. Progress is built step by step, with adjustments as needs change.
Ricky works with adults who want clear strategies for handling life challenges. He draws on decades of clinical work to guide those changes. If someone wants a steady, experienced counselor to help them move forward, he offers that steady presence.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Ricky commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations, which can reduce anxiety, anger, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to notice feelings without immediately reacting, which helps with stress and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. That decision is collaborative, and methods can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls support a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text-based messaging is useful for short updates or ongoing prompts between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
