About Rikki Bullard

Welcome to Better Help! My name is Rikki Bullard I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina and have over 12 years of experience working as a therapist. I have spent several years dedicated to working in individual counseling, specifically in the areas of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral concerns, parenting, family issues, adjustment/transitions, and trauma. I believe in helping my clients find the joy and happiness in life that they deserve and providing clients with the skills and techniques to be able to manage the ups and downs of life and live a healthier and happier life.

My approach in the counseling process is a client-centered approach. I believe in meeting the client where they are and guiding sessions based on what the clients needs are and change with the client by using reflective questions. This theoretical approach allows the counselor/therapist to apply components of several major counseling and psychological theories including, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Existential, Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy, and other disciplines within the field of psychology and counseling to allow for maximal results upon the specific needs of the clients. Each of these approaches is well-established, researched, and respected therapies.

I will have open and honest communications with clients and provide compassionate, empathic, and sensitive counseling that is specific to the experiences of your life.

I look forward to working with you to help you get to a place of peace and happiness. Let’s take that first step together!

“Rikki’s been able to pull me out of my darkness and help me celebrate my victories. She’s very understanding and patient with me.”

“Rikki has been through some of my most darkest times with me, and seen me through to the other side, she has encouraged me even when I had no encouragement left to give myself. She has also been there to set me straight if I needed that to, she is completely impartial and honest, I can trust her not to judge me but be truthfully kind no matter what!”

“Rikki is the absolute best. She is very knowledgeable about everything I bring to her. She is patient and wise.”

“Rikki is personable, has good insights into my situation, offers helpful recommendations and reinforces my actions that have positive outcomes. She helps me reframe situations and to consider how I might respond. I have been seeing her for about four years and this has been the most therapeutic relationship I have ever had with a therapist.”

“She has been great.”

“I like her very much she’s very kind understanding and she’s been very helpful”

“Rikki has a very special gift, she is one of the kindest, most honest and caring people I know. I’ve been meeting with her for over a year and I could t imagine navigating life without her!”

“Rikki is compassionate and empathic. She relates to me and my problems and provides advice on how to take better care of myself.”

“Rikki’s been extremely helpful in helping me stay focused and motivated. Sure there’s some back sliding of my own doing but Rikki’s always patient while helping me get back on track. She gave me the hope I had lost within myself.”

“I really am blessed to have her in my life. She’s so supportive and understanding. Non judgmental and caring. She has helped me grow and learn more about myself. She’s on time and sends worksheets/ gives homework and I love that. She’s amazing and I am thankful for her.”

“I’ve only had 2 sessions with Rikki so far but she’s helped me more than any therapist I’ve had in the last 15+ years! She REALLY listens, she takes notes, she asks the right questions, she digs deep to get to the root of the problem and, comes up with actual possible solutions. She doesn’t just sit there silently and wait for me to come up with an answer on my own, we have an actual conversation about my life and how I’m feeling. I really feel like she’s with me every step of the way. I can’t recommend her enough!!!!”

“I have a good relationship with Rikki. She really understands the multidimensional aspects of my issues and I feel very comfortable discussing things with her.”

“Rikki is very personable, flexible, culturally competent, and is always willingly to go the extra mile to assist with processing through difficult situations.”

“I absolutely love the help that I get. My therapist is awesome and thoughtful. Thanks BetterHelp”

“Rikki has been a God send in my life now for over a year, and it’s been a rough year!! She helps me make sense of the crazy in my world without an ounce of judgment, pure genuine concern and compassion with just enough accountability to help me week to week handle whatever may be thrown my way. She hears past my words and sees things in ways I’m not able to in the moment. She reaches out with words of wisdom and guidance on days we don’t have sessions, but somehow at the exact time that I need to hear what she has to say. Therapy isn’t anything like the stigma it received years ago, she is a staple in my life and I am so very grateful for Better Help matching me with her :)”
