About Rikki
Rikki Bullard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings 16 years of experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She uses clear, practical strategies so clients can handle life’s challenges and feel better day to day.
Rikki centers sessions on the person sitting across from her. She listens, asks reflective questions, and adapts the plan as needs change.
Background and approach
That flexible, client-centered stance means she draws on different methods to suit each situation rather than following one fixed path. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Emotion-focused methods help when emotions feel overwhelming or stuck. Typical concerns she helps people address include parenting stress, grief, addiction-related struggles, intimacy issues, career transitions, and coping after loss or major life changes. She also has experience with ADHD, chronic illness, body image, and blended family matters.
Rikki favors straightforward conversation and skills practice. Sessions aim to teach tools clients can use between meetings, such as coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to manage strong emotions. Her goal is practical progress you can notice in daily life.
People in North Carolina who choose Rikki can expect a steady, empathetic guide through difficult moments and clear steps toward feeling more in control.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Rikki draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and attachment-based ideas to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on being listened to and understood; online meetings allow those conversations to happen by video, phone, chat, or text. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which works well through guided exercises, homework, and short skill-focused check-ins over messaging or video. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and are useful when talking through relationship or intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will check in about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to focus on skills practice, emotion work, or relationship patterns as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera-free option is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, check-ins, or working through smaller steps between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping focus on clear, actionable progress.
