About Rikki
Rikki Bullard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 16 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related concerns. Rikki aims to create a calm, practical space where clients can learn skills to handle life's ups and downs.
She draws on client-centered principles to start where each person is. That means sessions follow what matters most to the client and move at a comfortable pace.
Background and approach
Rikki also uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking and change everyday habits. Emotionally-focused ideas guide her when relationships and connection are central issues. Attachment-based ideas are used when patterns with important people shape current struggles.
She mixes approaches to fit real problems rather than using one fixed method. Rikki has long experience supporting people through grief, trauma, parenting strain, career transitions, and burnout. She also addresses addiction, bipolar mood concerns, codependency, and issues common after adoption or foster care experiences.
Practical strategies and simple skills are emphasized in sessions. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, allowing different ways to stay in touch. Rikki works collaboratively to set goals and track progress so people notice changes over time.
How Rikki’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Rikki blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and attachment-informed ideas to address practical problems and relationship patterns. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on what the person brings each week and evolve at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new routines to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Attachment-based concepts look at how early and important relationships shape current behavior and emotional reactions, especially in intimacy and family stress.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Rikki will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they choose methods that match the client’s needs and adjust those methods as progress and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to work on stress, ADHD-related challenges, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions without reorganizing a large part of daily life.
