Ricky Varney
Introduction
Life can be overwhelming, and facing it alone often feels intimidating. As a therapist, my goal is to meet you where you are, not where you think you should be. My approach is to walk with you toward growth, healing, and greater self-understanding. I work with individuals (16+) and draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the Gottman Method for couples work. My approach is rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens through relationship, vulnerability, maturity, and even laughter. Throughout my career I’ve worked with diverse populations struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, religious trauma, grief, abuse, anger, relational and marital issues, pornography addiction, mood instability, self-esteem, and identity development. Whether you’re navigating a life transition or confronting long-standing challenges, I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where we can explore patterns, strengthen relationships, and empower you to live with authenticity and resilience. Therapy can be a part of your journey, I am here to walk along side on the road to healing.
