About Ricci
Ricci Oppenlander uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people move forward. She centers sessions on a person’s values and strengths. Ricci emphasizes honesty, openness, and steady steps toward clearer direction.
She works mainly with adults facing anxiety and depression and related struggles. Ricci brings eight years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She blends approaches so therapy fits the person, not the other way around.
Sessions tend to focus on building useful habits, clearer thinking, and identifying what matters most to the client.
How Ricci works
Her work often addresses stress, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and eating or anger problems. Ricci also supports people dealing with career setbacks, workplace issues, life transitions, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose. Additional focuses include cancer-related concerns, multicultural issues, and forgiveness.
In sessions she fosters a respectful, trusting relationship and encourages proactive steps outside the therapy hour. Conversations aim to be straightforward and solution-oriented, while attending to emotions and personal meaning. The process emphasizes small, achievable changes that align with a client’s values.
People who choose Ricci can expect a calm, collaborative environment where progress is paced to individual needs. She helps clients notice patterns, try new behaviors, and reflect on results. The goal is clearer direction, greater self-acceptance, and practical ways to handle life’s challenges.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ricci commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior, then trying concrete skills to change those patterns.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Ricci will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and personal preferences. That collaboration means approaches may shift as progress is made or situations change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow for conversational depth similar to in-person work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity and fit sessions into a busy life.
