Remote sessions built around evidence-informed methods
Ricky uses structured approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to clarify unhelpful thinking and to build concrete skills for managing stress, anxiety, and strong emotions. These methods are presented in understandable terms and are paired with exercises and homework when useful to support steady progress.
For trauma-related concerns he incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process distressing memories alongside mindfulness practices that promote present-moment regulation. Motivational Interviewing is available when the focus is on fostering internal motivation for change. He frames work as collaborative, inviting clients to set goals and to shape which techniques are emphasized.
Remote appointments may take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of communication options is offered to allow flexibility in how people prefer to connect while pursuing the agreed-upon therapeutic plan.
