More about Rima

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My speciality is working with young adults who suffer from an array of mental health (anxiety, depression, day to to day stressors) and addiction issues. Feel comfortable knowing you are seeing a therapist with 15 years experience and provides a safe environment for change.

My professional approach to therapy is eclectic. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered, motivational interviewing, humanistic and positive psychology.

My personal approach to therapy is:

I am a "Keep it real" type of therapist and have a laid back demeanor. I've been told throughout the years I am easy to talk to...

Therapy can be scary, so here's what you can expect:

​I will always be honest and transparent.

I am empathetic and compassionate.

I use humor in an effective and responsible way!

Lastly, I do not believe in the "one shoe fits all" mentality and as we take this journey together, you will learn, I am anything but a traditionalist.

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?......

Having difficulty Focusing and concentrating on tasks and goals? In college? At home?

Going through a difficult time right now- whether it is with yourself, or in your relationship?

You’ve reached a point where you can no longer carry stress all by yourself?

Have you tried several different things to help you and nothing has worked?

You find yourself overthinking and overanalyzing your thoughts?

You are not sure how to stop the self-doubt?

You are thinking you might be going crazy and that nothing will help you at this point..

...If so, reach out, I may be able to help!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Rima has been amazing with helping me learn about me! She is responsive when I have my spirals and reached out on her own during a week she knew was VERY rough for me.

Rima has been such an encouraging coach during the last two months. She listens without judgement and gives honest and helpful feedback. I continuously use the techniques she taught me to manage my anxiety and it has made such an impact on my life. I’m so glad I found Rima through BetterHelp. She’s amazing and I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a counselor!

I suffer from anxiety , and Rima helped me even in the few sessions I had with her. I still use the tools and encouragement she had provided to with. I am still working on myself but I am definitely trying using what we worked on together everyday. I am glad to have worked with her !
