About Rikki
Rikki Bullard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 16 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Rikki uses an attachment-informed lens to understand how early connections shape current feelings and behavior.
She combines that view with client-centered listening so each person guides the pace and priorities of therapy.
Background and approach
Practical strategies from cognitive behavioral work are offered when they fit the client’s goals. In session she keeps communication straightforward and empathic. She asks questions that encourage reflection, helps people learn new skills, and supports small changes that add up over time.
Sessions balance understanding with concrete tools for managing mood, anger, or low self-esteem. She has worked across many concerns including addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional experience includes adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and separation and divorce challenges.
Rikki offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

Online support
Attachment-informed and practical approaches for online care
Rikki blends attachment-informed thinking with client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools. Attachment-informed therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and handle emotion, which can help with intimacy issues, anxiety, and trauma. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and shaping sessions around what the person needs in the moment to build trust and momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers short-term strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits and is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If one way of working doesn’t suit, adjustments are made so the therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and nonverbal connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing reflection between longer sessions and can help people track progress in everyday moments.
