Background and approach
Rica listens first and then helps set small, clear steps toward change. Her work includes support for family problems, blended family issues, and codependency. She also addresses substance concerns such as drug and alcohol addiction and mood shifts linked to Seasonal Affective Disorder.
These topics are approached through collaborative goal-setting and focused techniques. Rica draws on several therapeutic methods to help people make steady progress. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

How Rica’s Approaches Work Online
Rica uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions about the person in front of her, focusing on listening and understanding what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify personal goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT provides practical tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns through small, doable exercises. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rica will ask about your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your needs. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic. Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let you maintain face-to-face connection when that matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when not being on camera helps you focus. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and flexible contact around a busy life. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily routines while using the approaches described above to manage stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns.Questions people ask
