He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and major life changes. His style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping each person make practical changes that fit their life.

He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Rick has ten years of experience working with adults who face workplace stress, parenting strain, or emotional overwhelm. He supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. He also helps those coping after natural or human-caused disasters and other sudden disruptions.
Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Conversations cover communication, boundary-setting, coping plans, and steps to rebuild routine and meaning. He aims to make each session feel practical and respectful of the person’s pace.
Clients can expect a calm, problem-solving tone with room for reflection. Rick works with people who want to understand patterns, reduce distress, and move toward more satisfying relationships and daily functioning.
How these approaches shape online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence how someone connects today. Online meetings can be used to notice patterns in real time and practice new ways of relating with guidance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. In remote sessions this translates into a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. It often includes short, practical exercises people can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rick will discuss which methods feel most helpful and adapt the plan based on a client’s goals and preferences. He emphasizes collaboration so people understand why a technique is suggested and can give feedback about what helps.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, cut commute time, and use brief check-ins when needed. It also supports steady work on relationship patterns, coping strategies after disasters, and skill practice between meetings without promising any specific format.
