More about Rima
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
My speciality is working with young adults who suffer from an array of mental health (anxiety, depression, day to to day stressors) and addiction issues. Feel comfortable knowing you are seeing a therapist with 15 years experience and provides a safe environment for change.
My professional approach to therapy is eclectic. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered, motivational interviewing, humanistic and positive psychology.
My personal approach to therapy is:
I am a "Keep it real" type of therapist and have a laid back demeanor. I've been told throughout the years I am easy to talk to...
Therapy can be scary, so here's what you can expect:
I will always be honest and transparent.
I am empathetic and compassionate.
I use humor in an effective and responsible way!
Lastly, I do not believe in the "one shoe fits all" mentality and as we take this journey together, you will learn, I am anything but a traditionalist.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?......
Having difficulty Focusing and concentrating on tasks and goals? In college? At home?
Going through a difficult time right now- whether it is with yourself, or in your relationship?
You’ve reached a point where you can no longer carry stress all by yourself?
Have you tried several different things to help you and nothing has worked?
You find yourself overthinking and overanalyzing your thoughts?
You are not sure how to stop the self-doubt?
You are thinking you might be going crazy and that nothing will help you at this point..
...If so, reach out, I may be able to help!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Rima has been a rock and really helped me lead my own way into proper decision making.
Very nice and kind
Rima has been amazing with helping me learn about me! She is responsive when I have my spirals and reached out on her own during a week she knew was VERY rough for me.
Rima has been such an encouraging coach during the last two months. She listens without judgement and gives honest and helpful feedback. I continuously use the techniques she taught me to manage my anxiety and it has made such an impact on my life. I’m so glad I found Rima through BetterHelp. She’s amazing and I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a counselor!
I suffer from anxiety , and Rima helped me even in the few sessions I had with her. I still use the tools and encouragement she had provided to with. I am still working on myself but I am definitely trying using what we worked on together everyday. I am glad to have worked with her !
Rima is so encouraging and easy to talk to. This was my first time seeking therapy and she really made me feel at ease. She was able to help me get back on track with my goals and figure out what worked for me and why.
Rima is extremely empathetic and encouraging. It was my first time ever going to therapy and it was such a positive and uplifting experience. I never once felt judged or uncomfortable, and always looked forward to my sessions with her. Would definitely recommend her!
