About Rick
Rick Miller is an LPC with 30 years of counseling experience. He combines a thoughtful, insight-oriented style with down-to-earth conversation so people can make sense of painful patterns. He speaks directly about relationships, parenting concerns, and personal struggles in ways that are easy to follow.
Rick trained in seminary and later completed coursework to earn a Missouri Licensed Professional Counselor credential. His background includes work with youth in a behavioral hospital and years in outpatient settings with adults and teens. That mix shaped a practical approach to everyday problems like stress, anxiety, anger, and grief.
In sessions he helps people name what is happening and why it matters. He listens for patterns in relationships and self-view, then works with clients to try new ways of communicating and coping. He emphasizes respect, clearer communication, and calmer interactions as foundations for better relationships.
Rick also works with issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, intimacy concerns, and forgiveness. His goal is to help clients better understand themselves, set realistic goals, and develop concrete steps toward those goals.
Parents and people dealing with family or parenting-related stress will find his background relevant. He uses straightforward language and aims to make counseling useful in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Rick uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening-focused relationship where clients lead the pace and topics. This approach is useful when someone needs to feel heard and begin making sense of relationship or parenting struggles.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT can be practical for anxiety, anger, ADHD coping strategies, and changing everyday reactions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs his focus on how emotions shape interactions. EFT-style work can help people practice clearer communication and calmer responses in close relationships.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Rick will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you want to address, and together you decide which methods to emphasize. This helps match the work to what feels most useful for you.

In general, working remotely can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or not based on comfort and bandwidth. Ask about current scheduling and format choices when you complete the matching questionnaire.
