Rieke Herrmann Marzouki, LMFT - Therapist in Hawaii

About Rieke

Rieke Herrmann Marzouki uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused approaches to guide parents and families through difficult moments. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in Hawaii. Her style is warm and direct, and she encourages clients to notice strengths they already have.

She speaks English and German and has five years of licensed practice in Hawaii. Rieke draws on methods from attachment-based therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people improve connection and repair relationships.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy for managing strong feelings and changing unhelpful patterns. Sessions aim to help people see what keeps them stuck and try different ways of responding. Her background includes many years supporting people with relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger.

She also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, grief, addictions, intimacy questions, eating issues, and parenting challenges. That experience informs practical steps used in sessions. Rieke works collaboratively, inviting clients to set goals and test new strategies between meetings.

She emphasizes small, doable changes and learning through practice. Parents and caregivers find this approach useful when routines, communication, or emotional closeness need rebuilding. To begin, clients follow a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to fit different needs and preferences.

How her approach adapts to online family and parenting work

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how people connect and respond to one another. Online sessions can help identify patterns of closeness and distance, and guide steps to repair trust and build reliable contact. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on feelings in relationships and helps partners or family members notice and name emotions so they can change interaction cycles. These approaches are useful when emotional disconnection, repeated arguments, or withdrawal are the central issues.

She also brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to help with specific symptoms like anxiety, anger, or unhelpful thinking. That combination lets therapy address both how people relate and the day-to-day skills they need. Choosing the best mix of methods is a joint process - the therapist will listen to goals, try things out, and adjust based on what works for each family or parent.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and allow follow-up support between meetings. The variety also lets people choose the mode that feels most comfortable, whether they prefer seeing facial cues on video or shorter check-ins by text.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
