Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui, WV Psychologist 1326

About Ruifeng

Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia. He earned a PhD in clinical psychology and brings seven years of experience to his practice.

Richard writes simply and directly with people who are worried about stress, anxiety, sleep, mood, and parenting concerns. He focuses on helping people name the problems they want to address. Sessions move at a steady, practical pace.

He helps clients identify small, manageable steps and tracks progress together.

Background and approach

Richard uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered methods. He explains tools in plain language and practices them together with clients during sessions.

Conversations in his office cover everyday matters like work stress, relationship strain, sleep trouble, eating concerns, and decisions about caregiving or life direction. He also supports people facing cultural or immigration challenges, compassion fatigue, or identity and purpose questions. Sessions are offered in English and follow a straightforward format.

Richard works with each person to set clear goals and practical steps. He encourages people to try techniques between sessions and bring back what worked and what did not.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus and emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. Sessions aim to be practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, to check in between meetings, and to practice skills in real-life moments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide exercises, teach skills, and review progress with regular check-ins.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
