About Deborra
Rikard emphasizes practical support and skill development, working with clients on motivation, confidence, impulse control, and coping strategies for difficult events like separation, infidelity, or disaster-related stress. She aims to create an open and nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed safely and honestly. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can feel daunting, and she positions herself as a steady, supportive partner in that process. Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, she collaborates with each person to identify goals and tailored strategies that fit their situation and strengths.
Evidence-Based Strategies for Online Support
Rikard uses focused, evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote sessions. One common approach centers on practical skill-building for stress, anxiety, and ADHD - teaching clients concrete routines, attention strategies, and worry-management tools they can apply day to day. Another set of techniques emphasizes behavioral strategies to address low mood and motivation by identifying small, achievable actions that restore routine and engagement with meaningful activities. Both approaches are rooted in measurable steps and collaborative goal setting.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rikard works collaboratively with each person to explore which techniques align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how support is delivered. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions can fit into busy schedules, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing access between appointments. These options make it easier to prioritize mental health while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
