About Ricky

Ricky Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health (LPC-MH) with 34 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, loss, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. He aims to listen without judgment and to shape sessions around each person's needs.

He approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Ricky emphasizes clear goals and tries to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Over three decades he has helped people through addiction concerns, anger and self-esteem struggles, and the emotional effects of major life changes. He also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, grief, and compassion fatigue. His background includes work with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress.

Ricky combines well-known methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy with approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. He adapts techniques to fit each person's situation instead of using the same plan for everyone.

He practices in Delaware and conducts sessions in English. People who are interested in starting are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their calendar.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Ricky uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on small, practical changes that can change how situations feel.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings run high. DBT skills can be useful for intense mood swings, relationship strain, and managing anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people connect from different locations within the state. Licensed professionals will help tailor session length and style to match each person's schedule and needs.
