How Rick works
ADHD and forgiveness are among his stated areas of focus. Sessions emphasize understanding what’s behind a problem and then finding usable steps forward. His background includes seminary training followed by counseling coursework and licensing in Missouri.
He has worked in a behavioral hospital with youth and in outpatient settings with teens and adults. That mix of settings informs his calm, insight-oriented style and his focus on communication and respect in relationships. Rick encourages clients to identify clear goals and to develop new ways of coping.
He uses insight work alongside structured methods to help clients change unhelpful patterns. Conversations aim to make problems clearer and more manageable, not just more complicated.

How Rick’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps people notice their own thoughts and feelings. This approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and grief by creating a steady space to talk.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, stress, and coping with life changes because it gives clear, doable steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide whether to emphasize insight, CBT techniques, or a mix of approaches and then adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when needed. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support short updates, quick coping reminders, or ongoing check-ins between live sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day needs.
