Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Dr. Riecks uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many practical coping challenges. He also integrates dialectical behavior therapy - a skills-based model that teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, useful for intense emotions and relationship struggles. In addition, his client-centered work emphasizes active listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s own goals so therapy feels collaborative and grounded in the client’s experience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Riecks works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts the plan together with each person rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access care from different locations. These options support continuity of care and make evidence-informed treatments accessible to people who need adaptable scheduling and communication styles.
