About Rickey

Rickey McGregor is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, career difficulties, depression, family struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, and anger.

Background and approach

With 13 years of professional experience and a WA LMHC (LH60608026), he approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping treatment to fit individual circumstances and goals. He combines practical, evidence-informed methods with a collaborative style, inviting clients to participate in setting priorities and shaping the pace of therapy.

Rickey emphasizes clear, goal-focused work that addresses thinking patterns, emotional responses, and relational dynamics. His practice also attends to areas such as abandonment fears, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and hospice and end-of-life concerns.

Clients encounter a therapist committed to empowering change through tailored dialogue and mutually agreed-upon plans. He views the decision to seek help as a courageous first step and aims to provide steady support as clients pursue greater fulfillment and healthier ways of coping.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. It is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and anger by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships. This approach can help people address intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and patterns that contribute to loneliness or disconnection.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific challenges a client brings to determine whether CBT, EFT, or a blend of approaches best fits the work ahead. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the focus as therapy progresses so methods remain aligned with evolving needs.

Online formats offer practical flexibility for ongoing care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can provide convenience when video is not feasible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or timely emotional support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
