About Rieke

Rieke Herrmann Marzouki is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii. She frames therapy around the idea that each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. She greets new clients with a calm, direct approach and encourages that first step toward getting help.

Rieke draws on methods that focus on relationships and emotion to address problems like low self esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also works with people dealing with anger, grief, addiction, eating concerns, parenting stress, and major life changes. Her background includes five years as a licensed clinician and many more years supporting people around relational and trauma-related struggles.

Sessions center on listening and practical skills. She uses conversational techniques that help people name difficult feelings and try new ways of acting in relationships. When helpful, she mixes thought-focused work with emotion-focused and attachment-informed practices to support clearer thinking and steadier connections.

Rieke offers guidance that aims to be straightforward and usable between sessions. She encourages clients to notice small changes and to practice new coping skills in daily life. Progress is tracked through what actually shifts in relationships and routine.

She conducts therapy in English and German. Her practice is in Hawaii and she does not take international clients. To begin, people complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and what they offer online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more reliable ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy centers on listening without judgment and following the person's lead. It supports people who need a steady space to make sense of painful experiences and grow self trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The practical upside of online therapy is fitting sessions into busy lives. Many people find it easier to keep regular appointments when travel time is removed or when sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain momentum between visits and to practice new skills in real-world routines.
