About Rivkah

Rivkah Barmore is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon. She draws on 25 years of clinical work to help people facing anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, trauma, and ADHD. Her sessions aim to be practical and grounded so parents and individuals can use what they learn right away.

Rivkah uses a mix of approaches that focus on relationships, emotions, and thought patterns. She pays attention to attachment and connection in relationships while also helping people notice and change unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

Trauma-focused work is used when past hurt affects day-to-day life. Her style blends warmth with straightforward guidance. She listens first, then helps set clear steps clients can try between sessions.

That can include behavior changes, emotion regulation skills, and communication practices for home life and parenting. Rivkah also pays attention to how life roles and family history shape reactions and choices. She supports people coping with abandonment, adoption or foster care questions, blended family stress, codependency, commitment concerns, and control issues.

Practical tools and slow, steady progress are a common emphasis. Sessions move at a pace the client prefers and are adjusted to daily realities. Rivkah works to create a space where people can talk honestly about intimacy, anger, self-esteem, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of connection and trust in relationships. It helps people notice how early bonds shape reactions now and teaches new ways to ask for support and manage closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or mood swings.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. If one way does not feel like a good fit, she will adjust the plan and try alternatives with you to find what helps most.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter problem-solving moments. These options give flexibility to schedule therapy around work, school, and parenting demands.
