Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui, WV Psychologist 1326

Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia. He holds a PhD in clinical psychology from West Virginia University and has seven years of practical experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and life transitions.

Richard focuses on clear, practical steps in therapy. He helps people name the problems they want to address and then works with them to try out solutions. Sessions emphasize real-world strategies for day-to-day struggles rather than abstract theory.

His work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance-based techniques, and mindfulness skills. He uses these methods to address mood symptoms, stress, sleep difficulty, and challenges like anger or low self-esteem. He also gives attention to caregiver stress and issues that arise with aging and geriatric concerns.

Richard aims to make sessions collaborative and straightforward. He listens for what matters most to each person, then adjusts goals and tools to fit that person’s life. Many clients come for help with coping, decision-making, and reducing symptoms that get in the way of everyday functioning.

People who contact him can expect a calm, problem-focused approach that combines talking, skill practice, and short-term planning. Richard works in English and practices in West Virginia as WV Psychologist 1326.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. It uses structured exercises and practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional awareness; it pairs well with other approaches for mood and sleep concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. That conversation guides which methods are tried first and how they are adjusted over time in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins during a work break. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday settings, which can help transfer what is learned in a session into real life. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match each person's routine and needs.
