Approaches that inform online sessions

Ricki draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and problem solving. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice different ways of thinking and responding; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and social phobia. Another approach centers on behavioral changes and routines - breaking larger problems into small, manageable steps and building habits that reduce stress and improve mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ricki collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on how things are going and what the client finds useful. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people connect from home or other convenient places and fit support into busy schedules. The variety of options makes it easier to continue work between sessions and to use the style of communication that feels most comfortable.
