About Rickey

Rickey McGregor is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career challenges, trauma, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. He works from Washington and speaks English. He brings 13 years of experience to conversations about change and healing.

Rickey uses plain, direct conversation to understand what matters most to each person. He tailors sessions to the problem at hand and the client’s personal goals.

Background and approach

He treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while encouraging practical steps forward. His approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix makes room for both feelings and concrete actions.

Sessions may include looking at the emotions behind a problem and testing new ways of thinking or behaving. He also addresses specific concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and challenges tied to grief or end-of-life situations. Rickey helps people work through family problems, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

Therapy with him can include short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns. He meets people where they are and helps them find tools that fit their life. Starting a conversation is the first step toward change.

Online support

Emotion and Action Online: EFT and CBT in Remote Sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and naming strong emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It helps people notice what they are feeling, how those feelings shape their responses, and how to create new, more helpful emotional habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering concrete exercises to test new beliefs and change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, whether that means more emotion-focused exploration or hands-on behavioral experiments. The plan can shift as needs change and progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can be easier for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
