About Ricci
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. Ricci Oppenlander works mainly with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns using evidence-informed methods. She combines structured techniques with reflective conversation to help people move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
Ricci emphasizes a goal-oriented approach that builds on each person’s strengths and values. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer problem-solving, and steps a person can try between meetings. She uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to address patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way.
She supports people coping with grief, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, workplace stress, and life transitions. Additional focus areas include cancer-related concerns, communication problems, forgiveness, infidelity, life purpose, multicultural issues, self-love, and young adult challenges. Ricci also addresses compassion fatigue and coaching-style concerns about career direction.
In sessions she encourages openness and straightforward conversation. The therapist helps clients identify values, set realistic goals, and practice small changes that add up. Progress is tracked through concrete steps and regular review of what is or isn’t working.
Ricci works in English and holds Michigan and Colorado LPC credentials as listed. Before booking, prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the sign-up flow.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice actions that match those values. Online sessions can focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, choosing small committed actions, and reviewing progress between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress. In virtual sessions clients and the therapist identify thinking traps, try behavioral experiments, and set homework to test new responses in daily life.
Client-centered work emphasizes listening, reflection, and the client's own perspectives. Over video or phone this looks like open conversation where the therapist follows concerns and helps the client make sense of feelings and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week by reducing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing work during a lunch break. Discuss scheduling and format details during the matching and booking steps to find what fits your routine.
