About Ricky
Ricky Jones is a licensed professional counselor - mental health (LPC-MH) with 34 years of experience. He practices in Delaware and offers calm, direct support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation.
Ricky focuses on practical conversations that help people take the next step. He listens for what matters most and then shapes sessions to the individual's needs. He encourages small, achievable changes and keeps the work grounded and straightforward.
Across his career he has worked with a wide range of concerns including addictions, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes. He also notes experience with aging and geriatric issues, attachment and communication problems, autism and Asperger syndrome, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Ricky uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the Gottman Method, and mindfulness-based techniques. He tailors those methods to each person's goals rather than applying one fixed path.
Clients who prefer clear guidance and a respectful, steady presence may find his style helpful. He aims to empower people to make practical changes and to better manage difficult emotions and life transitions.
Approaches that translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behavior. It can be helpful for intense mood swings and emotion regulation challenges. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, uses structured recall and guided processing to reduce the lasting impact of traumatic memories and related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ricky will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoid being on camera when someone prefers audio only. Ask about practical scheduling and format details when you match with the therapist.
