About Rima
Rima Soueidan is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Rima brings 23 years of clinical experience to her work and meets clients in English and Arabic.
Her sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens without judgment and helps clients name patterns that cause pain.
How Rima works
Rima blends practical tools with reflective conversation so people can try new behaviors between sessions. Rima uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative, and Solution-Focused methods. That mix lets her address symptoms like anxiety and depression while also looking at life stories and coping strategies.
She tailors techniques to each person’s needs and pace. Her background includes long experience with addiction, codependency, personality dynamics, and trauma like post-traumatic stress. She also works on concerns such as abandonment, infidelity, impulsivity, and social phobia.
Those years of work help her recognize common traps and offer concrete ways forward. Rima accepts international clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Session cost varies with location and therapist availability, and a subscription can be canceled at any time.
To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting concerns and helping people feel understood so they can decide what change looks like for them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust over time based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to know whether to focus on problem-solving, changing thoughts, or exploring life stories.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexible ways to connect. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option when video isn't practical. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer messaging over calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
