Background and approach
With five years of professional experience and a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in South Carolina, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Rickia works to make sessions feel collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people set clear, manageable steps and checks progress together.
Common topics she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and forgiveness. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
The format is chosen to fit each person’s needs and schedule. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Several evidence-based methods can be helpful for the concerns listed. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going, then practicing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve mood. Another approach works on building and using personal strengths and coping skills to recover from trauma, process difficult emotions, and increase resilience. Both approaches emphasize concrete exercises and homework that people can use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to understand goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time to better fit the person's needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth situations, and live chat or text messaging can work for shorter updates or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule regular work around school, work, or parenting commitments and to keep momentum between appointments.
