About Ricci

Ricci Oppenlander is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses clear, goal-focused work to help adults manage depression and anxiety. She emphasizes clients' strengths and personal values to guide change. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to help people find direction and more satisfaction in daily life.

Ricci invites honest conversation in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can take between meetings. She helps people identify what matters to them and build behaviors that support those values. That can mean learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking, or making small life changes that add up over time.

Her approach blends several methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based ideas. She also draws on attachment perspectives and existential themes to address meaning, relationships, and identity. Sessions center on what a person wants to change and how to move toward those goals.

Ricci has eight years of experience working with adults facing worries about work, relationships, identity, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, addictions, and workplace concerns. Her practice includes attention to multicultural issues and concerns common to young adults.

Sessions are offered in English and take place with a Michigan-based LPC. People who choose to begin work with Ricci are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. It’s useful for depression, anxiety, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns and behavior. Attachment-based ideas pay attention to how past relationship patterns influence present feelings and reactions in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then use techniques that match those needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time if something isn’t helping.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are listed by the therapist’s profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities simpler, so therapy can fit into everyday life.
