How Rickey uses CBT and EFT online

Rickey often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT gives practical tools people can try between sessions to see what helps.

He also uses emotionally-focused therapy, an approach that looks at feelings and patterns in close relationships and aims to strengthen emotional connection and communication. EFT can help when intimacy, attachment, or recurring relationship fights are central concerns.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rickey will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences to decide which methods to try first. He adjusts plans over time based on what proves useful and what the person wants to work on.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work from a quieter place, use less bandwidth by avoiding video, or arrange times that match work and caregiving routines. The focus is on practical ways therapy can fit into everyday life and support steady progress.
