Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui, WV Psychologist 1326

Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist based in West Virginia. He holds a PhD in clinical psychology and practices as WV Psychologist 1326. He has seven years of experience helping people manage common problems such as anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.

Dr. Cui focuses on identifying the specific problems a person wants to address. He works alongside clients to name goals and try straightforward steps toward change. Sessions are collaborative and practical, aiming for solutions that fit a person's daily life.

He uses a mix of approaches that include cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. That means he helps people notice thoughts and habits, practice new skills, and clarify values that matter to them. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior strategies are also part of his toolbox when useful.

People often come to him for stress, relationship strains, parenting pressure, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, or life changes. He also supports people facing caregiver strain, immigration challenges, loneliness, and mood or obsessive concerns. Dr. Cui tailors the work to the issue at hand rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Sessions may use a variety of formats to suit schedules and needs. He speaks English and practices from West Virginia as a licensed psychologist. If someone wants to explore therapy, he guides them through clear next steps to get started.

How CBT and ACT translate to online therapy

Dr. Cui often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce distress, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach he uses; it encourages noticing difficult thoughts while committing to actions that align with personal values, which can help when people feel stuck or unsure of their direction.

He also brings a client-centered attitude to online sessions, offering listening and support while tailoring methods to each person's needs. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process; he works with clients to pick methods based on their goals, preferences, and what works in their daily life. Techniques can be mixed and adjusted as the work proceeds.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins, coaching-style support, or step-by-step homework easier to fit around a busy schedule. These formats aim to increase flexibility and make therapy more accessible for different routines and needs.
