Welcome to Better Help! My name is Rikki Bullard I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina and have over 12 years of experience working as a therapist. I have spent several years dedicated to working in individual counseling, specifically in the areas of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral concerns, parenting, family issues, adjustment/transitions, and trauma. I believe in helping my clients find the joy and happiness in life that they deserve and providing clients with the skills and techniques to be able to manage the ups and downs of life and live a healthier and happier life.
My approach in the counseling process is a client-centered approach. I believe in meeting the client where they are and guiding sessions based on what the clients needs are and change with the client by using reflective questions. This theoretical approach allows the counselor/therapist to apply components of several major counseling and psychological theories including, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Existential, Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy, and other disciplines within the field of psychology and counseling to allow for maximal results upon the specific needs of the clients. Each of these approaches is well-established, researched, and respected therapies.
I will have open and honest communications with clients and provide compassionate, empathic, and sensitive counseling that is specific to the experiences of your life.
I look forward to working with you to help you get to a place of peace and happiness. Let’s take that first step together!

Rikki’s been extremely helpful in helping me stay focused and motivated. Sure there’s some back sliding of my own doing but Rikki’s always patient while helping me get back on track. She gave me the hope I had lost within myself.

I really am blessed to have her in my life. She’s so supportive and understanding. Non judgmental and caring. She has helped me grow and learn more about myself. She’s on time and sends worksheets/ gives homework and I love that. She’s amazing and I am thankful for her.

I’ve only had 2 sessions with Rikki so far but she’s helped me more than any therapist I’ve had in the last 15+ years! She REALLY listens, she takes notes, she asks the right questions, she digs deep to get to the root of the problem and, comes up with actual possible solutions. She doesn’t just sit there silently and wait for me to come up with an answer on my own, we have an actual conversation about my life and how I’m feeling. I really feel like she’s with me every step of the way. I can’t recommend her enough!!!!

I've worked with Rikki for a year and I've unlocked more positivity and potential than I thought was ever possible. Beginning with understanding my negative thoughts and feelings to doing well in job interviews and beyond! I'd recommend her to anybody looking for a soothing presence and immediately recognizable expertise.

I was hesitant coming into therapy for the first time in my life, but Rikki made me feel comfortable and respected. It’s easier said than done talking about things in your life that you want to work on with someone you’ve never met, but I was shocked with how natural it felt. I love my sessions and I feel like I take away so many tools to help me in life.

At this point, I have spent over a year with Rikki as my therapist and I have loved every minute. She's kind, understanding & supportive, while also offering homework and challenges to further my life into a healthier and happier direction. I highly recommend her therapy and am so grateful for our time together.

I’m only a couple of sessions in with Rikki but so far, she has been amazing. She is helping me through one of the most challenging times in my life so far. The emotional support and good advice that she has been giving me is exactly what I needed. She also has been giving me “homework” which has also been very helpful. I always feel 100 times better after our sessions.

Rikki is amazing to work with. She has helped me grow as an individual. She provides insight but asks good questions that creates me to change my way of thinking. She is flexible and prompt with scheduling and responding. My experience with Rikki and the BetterHelp platform has been excellent!

Rikki is amazing!! I feel so fortunate to have found her, I’m really enjoying therapy with her and I have tried a few therapists in the past I just never “clicked” with or felt they understood me. I have greatly benefited from our sessions and always look forward to it. She has played such a huge part in my self awareness and growth, I definitely recommend her to anyone interested in therapy.
