How CBT and EFT Guide Online Work

Rickey commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviors to change how someone feels and acts. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by creating practical coping steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways to connect and respond. EFT can be helpful for relationship strain and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rickey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people attend from a familiar setting. It also allows for shorter check-ins or different pacing when that better fits a client's schedule. Ask about available formats when you start the matching process so you can plan around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
