Rieke Herrmann Marzouki, LMFT

Rieke Herrmann Marzouki is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii (HI LMFT MFT-677). She brings five years of professional licensed experience and more than 15 years of experience supporting people through relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger management. Her work spans a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, parenting struggles, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.

Rieke approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, honoring each person's knowledge of their own story while offering skills and frameworks to navigate difficult moments. She emphasizes collaboration and believes clients hold many resources that can be mobilized to address self-esteem, stress, bipolar symptoms, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. Fluent in English and German, she works with individuals, couples, and families to rebuild connection, process painful experiences, and develop healthier patterns of relating.

Beginning therapy is often a brave act, and Rieke acknowledges that courage. She offers a supportive, respectful environment where people can take the next step toward change at a pace that fits their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rieke draws from attachment-based therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in addressing relationship and personal challenges. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds influence current patterns and helps people create more secure, trusting connections; it is especially helpful for couples and families working through repeated conflict or disconnection. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to repair closeness and increase intimacy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and build coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rieke works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, mixing supportive listening with skills-based exercises so therapy matches the client’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer not to travel. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different ways of meeting, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist's practice area.
