About Rikki
Rikki Bullard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and anger. Sessions focus on practical skills to manage day-to-day challenges and reduce recurring patterns that cause frustration.
Rikki takes a client-centered approach. She starts by listening and asking reflective questions to understand what matters most to each person. That shapes each session and lets the work shift as needs and goals change.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That helps people notice triggers, test assumptions, and try different responses when they feel overwhelmed or angry. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas are used to look at how relationships and past experiences affect reactions now.
Rikki also brings existential perspectives when people face big questions about meaning and life changes. Conversations can include practical coping tools, communication skills for strained relationships, and ways to rebuild routines after loss or major transitions.
Her practice emphasizes straightforward techniques and real-world application. People leave sessions with clear steps to try between meetings and with ways to measure progress over time.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rikki commonly uses client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and attachment-based ideas in her work. Client-centered work means sessions begin with listening and reflective questions so goals are shaped by the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce angry reactions or anxiety. Attachment-based ideas look at how relationship patterns and early experiences influence current responses and help people try new ways of connecting.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as needed. That makes therapy collaborative and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about timing and structure so sessions fit daily life and the work you want to do.
