About Ricky
Ricky Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor for Mental Health with 34 years of practice. He works from Delaware and helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and addiction. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Ricky keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He listens first, then shapes a plan that fits each person's situation and goals. That plan can include tools for managing emotions, improving communication, or coping with life changes.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of approaches depending on need, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, EMDR for trauma work, DBT skills for emotion regulation, and the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. These methods are applied in short, practical steps people can use between sessions. Ricky is practical in session.
He helps people build concrete skills for handling panic, low mood, anger, or relationship conflict. He also supports people dealing with complex issues such as bipolar mood swings, addiction, or trauma related symptoms. People often come for help with specific problems like grief, infidelity, or communication breakdowns.
Others want steadier support for long-term patterns such as attachment struggles, personality concerns, or coping with aging. Ricky adapts pacing and tools to meet those different needs.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Ricky commonly combines the Gottman Method, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict through specific conversation skills, useful for people wanting clearer interaction patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and depression through homework and real-world practice. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for people who struggle with intense emotions.Choosing an approach happens together. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past treatment to pick methods that fit. That means trying tools, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan over time to focus on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice communication skills and see nonverbal cues. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reminders, skill coaching between sessions, or when someone needs a quick touch-in rather than a full session. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
