About Rivkah

Rivkah Barmore is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad range of emotional and behavioral issues. She uses plain, practical talk to help parents and caregivers sort out stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship friction, and behavior concerns in children and teens.

Rivkah draws on decades of experience to make sessions feel manageable and goal-oriented for busy families. Her style blends attention to relationships with ways to change thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

She uses attachment ideas to notice patterns between caregivers and children. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people shift unhelpful thinking and try new actions. Sessions often include clear steps and homework families can try between meetings.

Rivkah brings 25 years of clinical experience and holds an Oregon licensed marriage and family therapist credential, OR LMFT T1273. Her background includes work with individuals, parents, families, and groups. She has supported people facing trauma, addiction, mood challenges, ADHD, and grief related to adoption or separation.

Therapy sessions are offered in English and are available to clients in Oregon as well as international clients. Rivkah offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Families who need flexible options often find this helpful.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a parent or guardian completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches for families in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how caregivers and children connect. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people rebuild trust and safety in relationships. This can be helpful for attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and adoption or foster care issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts that feed anxiety or depression and test new ways of thinking and acting. It often includes small experiments and practical tools parents can use with children to change behavior and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rivkah will collaborate with each family to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and coach parents in real time. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins, follow-up coaching, or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into school, work, and caregiving routines while maintaining consistent support.

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.
