About Rick
Rick Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of hands-on experience helping people face stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. He focuses on practical understanding and steady progress. He listens carefully and aims to help people feel heard and make sense of what they are facing.
He trained in seminary and later completed courses to earn his Missouri LPC. Early work included time with youth in a behavioral hospital, and later he provided outpatient care for adults and teens.
Background and approach
Those settings helped shape his straightforward, insight-oriented way of working. In sessions he helps people name patterns, notice what gets in the way, and try clearer ways of responding. He uses a mix of client-centered listening and approaches that teach skills for managing emotions and changing unhelpful thoughts.
This combination supports work on anger, addictions, parenting strains, and rebuilding self-esteem. He believes healthy relationships rest on respect, clear communication, and peaceful interaction. That view informs how he helps people with intimacy concerns, family stress, and parenting challenges.
Forgiveness and repair often come up as part of that work. Rick aims to make counseling practical and understandable. He helps people set concrete goals and practices they can use between sessions.
His approach is steady, plainspoken, and focused on helping people move forward from whatever feels stuck.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Rick blends client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused work to help people make changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people feel understood, which can reduce stress and open space for new choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills for noticing thoughts and changing reactions, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift the emotional patterns that drive conflict and disconnection in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He talks with each person about goals, what feels most difficult, and any preferences for how to work. Together they choose or combine methods that match those needs, and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit short check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options give flexibility to keep therapy consistent and practical.
