About Rikki
Rikki Bullard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 16 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions.
She uses a client-centered approach that starts by listening to each person's needs. From there she adapts sessions using techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-focused work. Her style is practical and straightforward, with questions and exercises aimed at real-life change.
Rikki has worked extensively with concerns such as parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific challenges including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems. Adoption and foster care needs are listed among her additional focus areas.
Sessions emphasize skill building and clearer patterns of thinking and relating. Clients can expect a mix of reflective conversation and hands-on strategies to manage emotions, reduce conflict, and improve daily functioning. The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
Her practice aims to help people find more joy and stability in everyday life. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session based on therapist availability.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Rikki uses client-centered methods and draws on cognitive behavioral and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to what the person needs, which helps create a plan that fits daily life. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based work examines patterns in relationships and helps people build more secure ways of connecting with others.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Rikki will work together with each person to decide which methods make the most sense. That collaboration means goals, pace, and techniques are adjusted as progress is made and needs change.
Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current offerings before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins short when needed. It can also help people continue steady work through life changes by maintaining regular appointments without rearranging the day.
