Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Rikki uses client-centered work that starts by listening to what matters most to each person and shaping sessions around their needs. This approach emphasizes empathy, reflection, and the client’s own goals and is useful for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental place to sort feelings and decisions.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers practical exercises and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship patterns and intense feelings get in the way, by identifying interaction cycles and practicing new ways of responding.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rikki collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well with limited bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
