About Ruifeng
Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia. He holds a PhD in clinical psychology from West Virginia University and brings seven years of clinical experience.
He commonly helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and depression. Richard uses straightforward conversation to identify the problems a person wants to address. He focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Sessions aim to turn big worries into small, doable actions that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
He draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered listening to shape goals. That combination helps with mood, panic, obsessions, and coping with life changes.
Richard also supports people facing caregiver strain, immigration challenges, aging and geriatric concerns, and career stress. He works with issues such as relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He includes attention to multicultural and veteran-related concerns when relevant.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with a licensed West Virginia psychologist. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when distressing thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and trouble making changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems like panic, obsessions, or low mood going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process guides whether ACT, CBT, client-centered listening, or a mix makes the most sense.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can fit into a busy day for brief coaching or follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy without long travel or rigid hours.
