She believes each person knows their story best and carries strengths that help with recovery. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with the client guiding what matters most.
How Rickia works
The conversation aims to build confidence and small, manageable steps forward. Rickia pays attention to patterns that leave people feeling stuck. She addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and commitment worries.
Communication problems, control issues, and isolation are also common themes she helps people name and address. She also helps people cope with family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. When domestic violence or safety issues come up, she focuses on practical planning and support options.
Sessions are paced to match each person’s readiness. Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and goal oriented. She emphasizes strengths and practical coping skills.
Rickia supports clients as they try new approaches and track what helps over time.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Rickia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage symptoms and build skills. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding; this approach helps with anxiety, low mood, and problems with self-esteem. Another approach emphasizes building emotional awareness and safer ways of relating to others, which is useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and healing from past abuse.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works together with clients to pick methods that match goals, needs, and personal preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable rather than abstract.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when wanting visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief processing, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain regular work toward change while balancing life obligations.
