Rikki Bullard, LPC, LCMHC

Rikki Bullard is a licensed counselor with 16 years of clinical experience helping adults and families navigate life’s challenges. She holds the LPC and the LCMHC credentials - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - which indicate advanced training in counseling and mental health treatment. Over the course of her career she has focused on depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, behavioral concerns, parenting and family dynamics, adjustment and transitions, and trauma. Rikki emphasizes practical skills and techniques that empower clients to manage the ups and downs of daily life and to pursue greater well-being and satisfaction.

Her therapeutic stance is client-centered, which means she meets people where they are and shapes sessions around each person’s goals and needs. She uses reflective questions and collaborative exploration to help clients clarify values, build coping strategies, and make meaningful changes. To tailor care, Rikki integrates elements from established theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential approaches, person-centered work, and reality therapy so that treatment aligns with the specific strengths and concerns of each client.

Rikki communicates with warmth, empathy, and directness, attending to the unique experiences of every person she sees. She is committed to supporting clients as they move toward greater peace and purpose, and she invites those ready for change to take a first step toward growth with her guidance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rikki uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s needs and goals guide each session - this approach helps with self-exploration, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies for reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is another element in her work, focusing on patterns in close relationships and helping clients build more secure, connected interactions, which is useful for relationship concerns, trauma, and attachment-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the treatment process. Rikki works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made so therapy stays aligned with what the client needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet clients where they are - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone visits, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity through transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals when in-person visits are not possible.
