How Rickey Uses Therapy Methods Online
Rickey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low self esteem and then practice small behavior changes. CBT is practical and skills-based, which can help with stress, work difficulties, and mood problems.
He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand strong feelings and improve emotional connection in close relationships. EFT emphasizes recognizing emotions and learning new ways to respond that reduce conflict and increase closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying a few techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on feedback and progress.
