About Rivkah
Rivkah Barmore, LMFT, helps people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship struggles. She uses practical talk and steady support to help clients take small steps toward feeling better. Her style is direct and compassionate, with a focus on how thoughts, feelings, and relationships connect.
Rivkah draws on 25 years of counseling experience in Oregon. She blends approaches that address emotional patterns and real-world behavior. Sessions often include talking through hurtful memories, practicing new ways of responding, and building clearer communication with others.
Background and approach
Many clients come for anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, parenting strain, or trouble with intimacy and trust. Rivkah also helps people facing life transitions, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to attachment or adoption and foster care histories. She works with issues like anger, codependency, and control struggles in everyday terms.
Her methods include attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and trauma-focused strategies. She explains tools plainly and practices them with clients until they fit day-to-day life. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Rivkah offers sessions in a range of formats to suit different needs. She focuses on helping each person clarify goals and try approaches that match their situation. Her long experience supports a calm, patient presence while clients learn new patterns.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. Online work uses conversations to identify attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating so clients feel less reactive and more connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions Rivkah helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioral experiments, and track progress between meetings. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on reducing the hold of painful memories and building skills to manage strong reactions. Through guided conversation and coping skills, online sessions can help desensitize distress and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rivkah collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and checks in regularly to make sure sessions feel useful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that need face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or use a quick check-in when life is busy. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into daily routines.
