About Ronald

Ronald Faggins is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Nevada with 26 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and depression. He speaks English and works with people who want practical ways to manage difficult feelings and daily pressures.

He uses straightforward conversations to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions look at what is keeping problems going now and test small changes to see what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one approach he uses to notice thoughts and try new responses.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. Client-Centered Therapy informs how he listens and responds, giving space for people to describe what matters most to them.

Ronald frames work as short-term and goal-focused when that fits, and open-ended when people need more time. He encourages practical homework between sessions so new skills can be practiced in everyday life. He asks about the context around problems - work, caregiving, adoption or parenting stresses, and other life demands.

People who contact him can expect clear steps and check-ins about progress. His background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as caregiver stress, first responder issues, aging-related topics, communication problems, and adoption or foster care matters. He does not accept international clients.

How his approaches translate to online work

Ronald uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought that fuel anxiety or anger and then tries small behavioral experiments to test different responses. CBT sessions often include brief exercises and homework that fit into daily routines, which can be checked in on during follow-up online meetings.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify personal values and set goals that align with those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult feelings without letting them dictate actions and then committing to value-based steps, which can be planned and reviewed remotely. Client-Centered Therapy influences how he listens, prioritizing the person’s experience and reflections during sessions.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will discuss which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. That means trying a method briefly and changing course if something is not working.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice exercises between meetings when sessions happen remotely, and the therapist can use those check-ins to adapt tasks to everyday life.
