How Rikki’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps look at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this can mean examining how trust and closeness form and how to build healthier connections with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and goals, with the therapist offering reflective listening and support as clients find their own solutions.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Rikki will work with each person to choose approaches based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting methods when needed, and combining strategies to meet real-life needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when time and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support people who prefer brief, written check-ins or who need more frequent contact between longer sessions.
