About Rieke
Rieke Herrmann Marzouki is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, anger, anxiety, depression, and other life stressors.
Rieke emphasizes that clients know their own stories and brings approaches that help name and shift difficult emotions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based work to look at how feelings and connection patterns shape everyday interactions. She also draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps and on recognizing strengths the client already has. That can mean noticing repeated emotional reactions, trying a different response in the moment, or practicing skills between meetings. She frames the work as collaborative and paced to the persons readiness.
Rieke also supports people coping with grief, eating concerns, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, parenting strain, intimacy-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She offers care in English and German and works from the perspective that small changes in how emotions are understood often change how people relate to themselves and others.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and fees vary by location.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that shape how people relate. It is often used when patterns of disconnection or strong emotional reactions keep repeating. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection experiences influence current relationship patterns and helps people understand their emotional needs and responses. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persons perspective and relies on listening and reflection to help clarify goals and choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical concerns and collaborate to decide which methods fit best. That may mean using EFT to map emotional patterns at first, then adding CBT or DBT skills to manage intense reactions when needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some session types may allow shorter focused check-ins while others use standard-length appointments, so review the available options and pick what fits your schedule.
