Rikki Bullard, LPC, LCMHC

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 helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and addictions. Rikki focuses on practical skills that make daily life easier and more manageable.

She uses a client-centered stance that starts by listening and following what each person needs in the moment. From there she draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas to address patterns in thinking and relating. Sessions are grounded in straightforward conversation and reflective questions to clarify goals and next steps.

Rikki has worked extensively with issues tied to relationships, parenting, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and chronic health challenges. Her experience includes helping people rebuild routines and coping strategies after major change.

In sessions she aims for practical tools alongside deeper meaning work when needed. That can mean learning new behavior strategies, spotting unhelpful thinking habits, or improving communication patterns with important people. The pace and focus adjust to each person’s needs.

Rikki emphasizes honest communication, empathy, and a calm style. She invites clients to set realistic steps toward greater balance and satisfaction. To begin, the process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Rikki uses client-centered work that emphasizes listening and following each person’s needs. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and use reflective questions to shape the conversation. This is helpful for people who want a supportive, individualized process.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT gives practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills, useful for anxiety, depression, and addictions. Attachment-based ideas are used to notice how past relationships affect current patterns, which can help with relationship struggles and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. Together they check what is working and adjust the focus over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. In general online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt the same therapeutic techniques used in person to an online setting, helping clients build skills and make changes while working around everyday life.
