Her background includes Client Focus Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Therapy and related tapping techniques, anger management, chemical dependency recovery, and trauma-focused therapy. She works with a broad set of concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting and family challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Additional clinical focuses include abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, codependency, and commitment or control struggles. As an LMFT Rivkah holds a license to practice marriage and family therapy in Oregon and applies her range of trainings to tailor an approach that fits each individual, couple, or family she works with.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rivkah commonly draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape present-day patterns - this approach helps people and couples understand attachment needs, separation or abandonment concerns, and how those patterns show up in current relationships. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients can lead their own healing and grow self-awareness at their own pace. Trauma-focused therapy is another central approach, offering structured ways to process traumatic experiences and the lasting effects they can have on mood, behavior, and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rivkah works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their history, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered in multiple formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care across distances, or work in the communication style that feels most comfortable. These options provide flexibility and continuity for people managing work, family, relocation, or international living while engaging with licensed professionals and therapists.
