About Rieke

Rieke Herrmann Marzouki is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii with five years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, anxiety, depression, and related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and German.

Rieke uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside attachment and emotion-focused work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She emphasizes practical steps - identifying thinking habits, trying new responses, and working on predictable behaviors that keep problems going. Conversations aim to be direct and concrete so people leave with things to try between sessions.

Her background includes many years of helping people with relationship conflict, family struggles, trauma, and anger management before becoming an LMFT. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic, short-term goals. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s perspective guides priorities.

Rieke commonly addresses stress, self-esteem, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strains, bipolar and mood-related problems, addictions, and coping with life changes. She also works with compassion fatigue and the emotional fallout of sustained stress.

When someone first reaches out she uses a clear, problem-focused approach to set the first steps. Clients can expect straightforward work on thoughts and behaviors, with attention to emotional bonds and how they affect daily choices.

How her approaches translate to online work

Rieke draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and change unhelpful behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear problems, homework tasks, and step-by-step experiments to test new responses to stress, anxiety, or mood difficulties.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how close relationships shape emotions and reactions. That work helps people recognize habitual ways of relating and practise different communication or boundary strategies. Client-Centered therapy informs her style by keeping the client’s perspective central and adjusting pacing to what someone can manage.

Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to prioritize goals, try methods that suit their situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give direct feedback about what works and what does not.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, a shorter phone check-in during a work break or a video session when more face-to-face contact is useful. These practical choices aim to reduce barriers to regular work on thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns.
