About Ruifeng
Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia. He holds a PhD in clinical psychology and has seven years of experience helping people with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and related concerns.
He focuses on identifying the specific problems someone wants to address and then working alongside them to find practical ways forward. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on building skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
The tone is calm and direct to help people take small, manageable steps. Richard uses a mix of approaches that match a person's needs, including methods that address thoughts, behavior, and emotional regulation. He also draws on acceptance-based and mindfulness strategies to help people tolerate difficult feelings and stay connected to values that matter.
These tools can be helpful for stress, panic, obsessions, and mood concerns. People come to him with a wide range of life challenges - relationship strain, parenting stress, career doubts, grief, immigration issues, and caregiver burden among them. He supports work on communication problems, self-esteem, anger, and navigating big life changes.
ADHD is listed among the concerns he sees. Therapy is offered in English and conducted from West Virginia. Richard aims for clear, practical sessions that leave people with doable steps and clearer options for what to try next.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of living the life someone wants to build. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to test new ways of responding; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes simple attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily demands. That means trying strategies, tracking what helps, and adapting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, flexible contact for between-session coaching and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on usable skills and steady progress.
