01About Rick
Rick Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 30 years of practice. He focuses on helping people untangle relationship and parenting struggles, manage anger and anxiety, and cope with loss and life changes. His work also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and forgiveness.
He trained in seminary before completing coursework to become a Missouri LPC. Early in his career he worked with youth at a behavioral hospital and later provided outpatient care for adults and teens.
Background and approach
That range gave him experience with different ages and levels of need, and it informs how he listens and responds. Rick uses a gentle, insight-oriented style. He prioritizes understanding a person’s history and goals, then helps identify small, practical steps to improve daily life.
Conversations focus on clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and rebuilding a sense of self-worth. Sessions often center on relationship patterns and how they shape behavior and emotions. He helps people name what’s getting in the way and practice new ways of interacting.
Forgiveness and repairing trust are part of his work when those issues arise. People can expect plain language and steady guidance rather than jargon. The aim is to make therapy useful and doable so clients can practice changes between sessions and measure progress over time.

04Online support
Using focused therapies in online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps clients make choices that fit their values. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down problems into manageable steps and teaches skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT can help with anxiety, anger, addiction patterns, and everyday stressors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognize and shift emotional responses that keep relationship patterns stuck. It is practical for improving communication, increasing emotional safety, and working through intimacy issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, listen to what has or hasn’t worked before, and suggest approaches that match the client’s needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist make adjustments as progress is measured.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when helpful, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, homework prompts, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity between appointments.
