Rikki Bullard

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 to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and coping with life changes. Rikki aims to give practical tools so people can handle everyday challenges more easily.

She uses a client-centered approach that starts by meeting people where they are. Sessions are guided by the client's needs and move at a pace that feels right for them. Rikki draws on methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and existential ideas to tailor support to each person.

In practice she offers straightforward, empathic conversation and reflective questions to help people see patterns and try new ways of coping. Therapy can include skill-building for managing mood and anxiety, strategies for relationship and parenting concerns, and support after trauma or loss.

Rikki has worked across many settings during her career and brings that practical experience into sessions. She is comfortable addressing issues such as addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to adoption, aging, or chronic illness. The focus is on helping clients find more moments of calm and clearer paths forward.

People who choose Rikki can expect collaborative sessions that emphasize real skills and gentle challenge. She encourages clients to define goals and practice new approaches between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How Rikki’s approaches translate to online therapy

Rikki uses a client-centered foundation combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's lead to identify goals and next steps. CBT offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in close relationships to help people build more secure and satisfying connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative conversation helps shape session focus and homework in ways that feel useful and realistic.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins, and making it simpler to attend from different locations. These practical advantages help people keep momentum between appointments and try tools from sessions in everyday situations.
