About Rickey

Rickey McGregor is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Washington with 13 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, career struggles, depression, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and anger.

He uses clear, task-focused conversations to identify patterns that keep problems going. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and try small changes to see what helps. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods to address relationship and intimacy concerns when those come up.

Rickey often helps people untangle problems like abandonment, codependency, commitment worries, and communication breakdowns. He also supports those facing blended family issues, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, grief, and end-of-life matters. Practical coping strategies are a common part of his work.

Expect structured sessions that aim to set clear goals and track progress. Conversations may include skill practice, behavioral experiments, and ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts. He will work with each person to set priorities and adjust the plan as needed.

Rickey describes his approach as respectful and attentive. He encourages people to try small, manageable steps between sessions. That hands-on focus is intended to help people test new ways of handling stress, relationships, and everyday pressures.

Approaches and remote sessions

Rickey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down stressful patterns into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. CBT sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship or intimacy issues are central, helping people identify and change interaction patterns that cause hurt.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then decide together which methods to try. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what works and what does not.

Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. When formats are discussed, practical factors such as needing a quieter room, preferring no video, or fitting a session into a lunch break are useful to mention. The therapist will review how to structure online meetings so they align with your goals and daily routine.
