Rickeeta Dufour, LPC — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Rickeeta!

I use a solution-focused, strength-based approach to help clients navigate life's challenges. I work with children, teens, adults, and families, bringing warmth and practicality to every session.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, relationship issues, and life transitions. Whether you're seeking short-term support or longer-term work, we'll move at your pace toward the solutions you need.

My approach

I focus on your strengths while we work toward solutions together, adding a bit of humor along the way. I see each person through a unique lens, which helps create both immediate relief and lasting change.

My communication style

I know therapy can feel nerve-racking, so I approach our sessions as conversations. The work can be hard, but a little humor helps us navigate the tough stuff together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started as a behavior therapist working with children on the Autism spectrum, then moved into counseling. I've provided in-home therapy, crisis work, and family therapy, and now I also work with adults in outpatient settings.

My goals for you

You decide what your goals should be. I'm here to support the direction that feels right for you.

Our first session

Expect an easy, pressure-free conversation where we get to know each other. We'll cover a few basics, then talk about what you're hoping to get from working together.
