About Ricardia
LMHC Ricardia Cooper has eight years of post-degree experience and practices in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Ricardia works with people who are navigating attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication and control issues, substance use challenges, and women's issues. Sessions are conducted in English and use evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
Ricardia trained in psychology and social work before earning her Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Her background includes work in crisis intervention, clinical research, trauma-informed care, outpatient substance use services, behavioral consults, and clinical assessments. That practical experience informs how she structures sessions and prioritizes safety.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps people identify what feels overwhelming and then breaks problems into manageable steps. Conversations cover current stressors, patterns that cause conflict, and skills to cope with strong feelings like anger or social anxiety.
Ricardia pays attention to relationship patterns rooted in attachment and to how past losses affect present behavior. She also addresses substance use and its impact on mood and relationships. Work often includes improving communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding self-esteem.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve
Ricardia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. One common strand involves skills-based work for anxiety and stress management, which teaches breath work, grounding, and practical routines to reduce overwhelming feelings. That approach helps with day-to-day panic, chronic worry, and workplace or family stress. She also addresses relationship and attachment patterns by identifying repetitive behaviors and teaching new communication and boundary skills. This work targets problems like codependency, poor communication, and patterns that follow from abandonment or insecure attachment. For substance use concerns she brings methods used in outpatient substance use services, focusing on how substance use affects mood and relationships and on building alternative coping strategies. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may involve trying a few methods and adjusting based on what helps. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find online work useful because sessions can fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Ask about the available session types when you complete the matching questionnaire so logistics match your routine.Sheet 3
