About Rikki
Rikki Bullard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common problems like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and relationship concerns. Rikki also helps with parenting strain, grief, addictions, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Rikki uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and existential ideas when those tools fit a person's concerns. Sessions typically focus on understanding feelings, naming hard emotions, and spotting patterns that repeat in daily life.
In practical terms she works with people to build skills for managing strong emotions and to change unhelpful behavior patterns. Rikki often uses reflective questions and collaborative discussion to clarify what matters most to each person. She also offers coaching-style support for career or life transitions when clients want more goal-focused work.
The approach adapts over time as needs change, moving between exploring feelings, addressing thoughts and practicing concrete coping skills. Rikki aims to help people find ways to feel more grounded and handle everyday ups and downs. She conducts sessions in English and practices in North Carolina.

How her approaches translate to online work
Rikki commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people name and process strong emotions and to notice recurring emotional patterns. EFT is often used when feelings are hard to put into words and when people want to change how emotions shape their daily interactions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection styles and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, which emphasizes listening, reflective questions, and shaping sessions around what the client needs in the moment.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, typical day-to-day struggles, and what methods feel most useful. That conversation guides whether the focus is on naming emotions, shifting thoughts and behaviors, or practicing coping skills.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten check-ins, and choose quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when helpful. Licensed professionals will discuss practical scheduling and format choices during the first steps of the matching and booking process.
