About Ruifeng
Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia. He holds a PhD in clinical psychology and brings seven years of experience to his practice.
He addresses everyday problems like anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and anger in straightforward terms. Richard focuses on helping people name the issues they want to change. He works alongside clients as they face those problems and looks for practical steps forward.
That can mean trying new ways of coping, testing small changes, or practicing different ways of thinking.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Richard uses clear explanations and simple exercises so people can try strategies between meetings. He emphasizes short, manageable goals that build over time.
He draws from several approaches to suit different needs, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive techniques for shifting thoughts, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. These methods are used flexibly to match what a person prefers and what their situation calls for.
People come to him for a range of concerns beyond mood and sleep - issues such as relationship strain, parenting stress, career uncertainty, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. He also helps with caregiver strain, aging and geriatric worries, and multicultural adjustment concerns. Richard offers sessions in English from West Virginia.
He aims to make therapy practical and understandable, with clear next steps to try between appointments.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to lower reactivity and increase calm during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer talks and skills practice, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or written reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines and to try different formats as needs change.
