About Rikki

Rikki Bullard is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor practicing in North Carolina with 16 years of clinical experience. She blends client-centered principles with evidence-based interventions to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

Her background includes extensive individual counseling focused on mood disorders, behavioral issues, family and parenting matters, grief, addiction, and life transitions. Rikki emphasizes a collaborative stance that meets clients where they are, using reflective listening and tailored techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, emotionally-focused approaches, and existential perspectives.

She aims to equip clients with practical skills and strategies to navigate stress, improve self-esteem, address intimacy or communication problems, and cope with major changes. Her approach highlights compassionate, empathic conversation alongside goal-oriented tools so clients can pursue greater balance and satisfaction.

Clients seeking flexible formats can connect with Rikki remotely while scheduling around their availability. Her practice integrates clinical knowledge with a warm, client-guided process designed to identify priorities and support gradual, meaningful progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Rikki often uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's experience and priorities and relies on empathic listening and reflective questions to guide progress. This approach helps people clarify values, build self-awareness, and set goals that feel authentic to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a frequent component of her work; CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change problematic habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rikki partners with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time to match changing needs and priorities.

Online therapy formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions and to access licensed professionals without travel. The combination of evidence-informed methods and flexible session formats helps clients work toward meaningful change in practical, workable ways.
