How Ricky's Approaches Work Online
Ricky uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot negative thinking patterns and replace them with more helpful thoughts and actions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related problems. He also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address troubling memories and trauma-related symptoms by combining focused recall with guided processing techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ricky will talk with clients about their symptoms, goals, and everyday demands, and then recommend methods that fit. That plan can change over time as progress is tracked and new needs emerge, making the process collaborative and responsive.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and do structured exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic approaches discussed above.
