About Ruifeng

Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia (WV Psychologist 1326) with seven years of practice. He holds a PhD in clinical psychology from West Virginia University. He works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, stress, and anger.

He begins by helping people name the problems they want to address. Sessions focus on practical steps and shared decision making. He emphasizes working together to find solutions that fit the person's life.

Richard uses a blend of approaches to match the issue at hand. He draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings.

His style is straightforward and problem-focused. He helps clients develop skills for coping with relationship strain, parenting stress, career pressure, and life changes. He also addresses concerns like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and mood or panic symptoms when these affect daily functioning.

In therapy he will support people as they test new behaviors and notice what works. He pays attention to communication problems and multicultural factors that shape how someone experiences stress. People who want clear steps and practical tools to manage anger and other strong emotions may find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and issues that get in the way of everyday goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel stress, sleep problems, and low mood.

Mindfulness-based techniques help people pause and observe strong emotions rather than react automatically. These practices support better self-awareness and can reduce repeated outbursts or rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new challenges come up.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time on workdays. Those practical benefits can make it simpler to practice skills consistently between meetings.
