He also incorporates EMDR when addressing traumatic memories and studies relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method.

In sessions he focuses on clear goals and concrete strategies. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to stress, building skills to manage panic, or learning communication techniques for strained relationships. The pace is collaborative and adjusted to each person’s comfort and objectives.

How his approaches translate to online work

Ricky uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. EMDR addresses distressing memories by combining guided attention with memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people manage strong emotions and build lasting coping skills. Together these methods give concrete exercises, emotion regulation tools, and attention training that can be practiced between sessions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and the problem at hand to decide what to try first and adjust as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simple to continue skill practice consistently while balancing work, caregiving, or other routines.
