About Rick
Rick Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 30 years of experience. He helps people who are facing relationship and family challenges, parenting stress, anger, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and forgiveness concerns. His work aims to help clients better understand their patterns and identify practical ways to change them.
He trained first in seminary and later completed the coursework needed to become an LPC. Early in his career he worked with youth in a behavioral hospital and later provided outpatient care for adults and teens. That background informs how he notices patterns that come from difficult childhood experiences and ongoing life stress.
Rick uses an insight-oriented approach alongside methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. He focuses on helping people recognize unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, try different responses, and build clearer goals. Sessions move from understanding toward small, manageable changes.
In sessions he emphasizes respect and clearer communication in relationships. He helps people map the steps between current habits and the changes they want. He also works on practical skills for anger management, coping with life changes, and improving self-esteem.
People who choose him are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment and session details vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Rick often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves short, focused exercises and homework to practice new responses, which fits well with remote sessions and between-session work.He also uses client-centered techniques that focus on listening and reflecting to help people clarify goals. That approach is straightforward to use online because it centers on clear questions and practical planning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports exploring relational patterns and strong emotions, helping people notice interaction cycles and try new ways of connecting; this can be discussed and practiced in sessions without needing in-person contact.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered work, EFT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing is the best fit based on their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and needs change.
