About Rickey
Rickey McGregor is a Washington LMHC with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, family tensions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and anger.
He focuses on straightforward, practical conversation. Sessions aim to identify patterns that increase tension and then test small changes. He uses clear techniques to help people notice triggers, manage reactions, and improve communication where that supports the work.
Rickey draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and track emotions in relationships and to practice different ways of asking for needs to be met.
Clients can expect a calm, direct approach that favors doable steps over long explanations. He pays attention to how daily routines, work stress, and family roles affect mood and interactions. Progress is measured by what people notice changing in their day-to-day life.
Rickey has worked in a range of settings over the past 13 years and brings that practical experience to sessions. He works in English and practices in Washington. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site.
How sessions work
How CBT and EFT inform online sessions
Rickey works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors that reduce anger and anxiety. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, short experiments, and skill practice that can be reviewed between meetings.He also uses core ideas from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients name emotions and communicate needs more clearly in relationships. EFT-style work focuses on tracking emotional patterns and practicing new ways of responding to close others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rickey collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT, EFT, or a mix fits their goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and as specific situations come up.
Confirm the available session formats before you book since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require, and reduce travel time. Talk with Rickey about what will practically fit your routine and communication preferences before scheduling.
