About Ruifeng
Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia with seven years of experience. He holds a PhD in clinical psychology from West Virginia University. He works with adults who bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, parenting stress, and relationship or family issues.
He focuses on helping people name the problems they want to address. He helps clients weigh what is getting in the way and then practises steps toward change. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with room to talk through how problems began and what maintains them.
Richard uses approaches drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice thoughts and take values-based actions. He also draws on client-centered and mindfulness methods to slow down upsetting patterns and build clearer choices.
People often come for help with stress, anger, self-esteem, or coping with life changes such as caregiving or immigration concerns. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, panic, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and mood concerns.
In sessions he balances talking through immediate problems with building skills that make day-to-day life easier. He works collaboratively to identify small experiments and practical steps people can try between meetings. This approach helps people who need direct strategies and those who want a reflective space to sort things out.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used when someone feels stuck by worry, low mood, or conflicts about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety or sleep trouble. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding so clients can explore what matters and make their own decisions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust the approach as needed. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together rather than imposed by the therapist.
