Background and approach
Rickey aims to build clear goals together and to teach skills people can use between meetings. His approach adapts to each person's needs. He draws on methods that help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and improve emotional connection in close relationships.
He explains techniques in plain language and checks in about progress regularly. Rickey describes his role as supportive and empowering. He focuses on helping people find better ways to cope, communicate, and make decisions that match their values.
Small changes add up over time, and he helps people track those gains. Outside of direct sessions, he pays attention to the challenges that come with blended families, caregiving stress, codependency, grief, and end-of-life concerns. He also addresses issues like abandonment, commitment doubts, and fatherhood-related stress when relevant to the individual's goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rickey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this method is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to improve emotional connection and communication within close relationships, which can help with intimacy and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rickey works with each person to identify goals and to choose techniques that fit their situation and preferences. He adjusts methods as needed and reviews progress together so the plan stays relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues during conversation, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and easier scheduling during a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into real life.
