How Rikki’s approaches translate to online work

Rikki uses client-centered care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based ideas to shape sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the client's needs in each session. It helps when someone needs a steady, responsive therapist who adapts to their pace.

CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear tools to use between sessions. Attachment-Based approaches pay attention to how relationships and early experiences shape current feelings. These methods help with intimacy, trust, and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, with skills and exercises introduced collaboratively.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises to work well over distance, and Rikki tailors techniques so they are practical for daily life.
