About Rickey

Rickey Etheridge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas with 18 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, respectful care for people facing depression, bipolar disorder, and LGBT-related concerns.

Background and approach

He also addresses family tensions and relationship challenges through straightforward strategies. Rickey has worked with people living with bipolar disorder and those navigating identity and relationship questions. He has experience supporting those affected by personality disorders, including Borderline Personality Disorder.

He uses evidence-based techniques and adapts them to fit a clients pace and goals. In sessions he aims for direct, respectful dialogue without judgment. He helps clients identify small, practical steps they can take between sessions.

He supports people who feel isolated or stuck and guides them toward clearer next steps. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he acknowledges that courage. Rickey will collaborate on a plan and adjust it as needs change, focusing on what will help the person feel more stable and connected.

Practical approaches for online family and mood support

Rickey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them for online work. One common approach focuses on structured problem-solving and communication skills. That method helps people identify specific conflicts, practice clearer ways to talk, and try new behaviors between sessions. Another approach addresses mood regulation and coping strategies for depression and bipolar disorder. It teaches routines, mood tracking, and small changes that can reduce intense highs and lows.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Rickey will work together with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and daily life. He adjusts plans as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules or to connect from different locations. They also allow continued support between in-person possibilities and offer multiple ways to communicate based on comfort and convenience.
