About Ricci

Ricci Oppenlander, LPC, uses attachment-informed approaches to help people build clearer relationships with their feelings and choices. She focuses on practical steps that match each person's values and strengths. Her style is down-to-earth and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on respect and mutual trust.

Ricci typically works with adults who are coping with depression and anxiety. She also helps people facing stress, grief, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, identity and LGBT issues, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how past connections shape current patterns and responses. In sessions she blends methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening. That means Ricci helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and then take small actions that align with what matters to them.

She also uses existential ideas to support questions about meaning and life purpose. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals.

Clients can expect practical tools for coping, communication, and decision-making alongside space to process emotions like grief or anger. Ricci brings eight years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor. She practices in Michigan and offers work that respects each person's background, culture, and goals.

Online support

How attachment and action work online

Ricci uses Attachment-Based ideas to notice how early relationship patterns show up now, helping people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify personal values and take small, meaningful steps even when emotions are hard. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for empathetic listening and follows the person's pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Ricci will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try methods that fit the individual's situation and adjust as progress is reviewed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options help people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or days with unpredictable timing.
