About Ruifeng
Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia. He has a PhD in clinical psychology from West Virginia University and seven years of clinical experience. Richard often helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
He begins by listening to what a person wants to change. Then he helps them name the problems and set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills clients can use between visits.
Richard uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses acceptance and commitment strategies and mindfulness tools to reduce stress and increase clarity.
Work in the room is collaborative and direct. He helps people try specific techniques, notice what works, and adjust plans when needed. Parents and caregivers often ask about sleep and stress, and he breaks concerns into small, doable steps.
Richard frames progress as steady, testable changes rather than sudden cures. He supports people as they try new habits and cope with setbacks. If you want a focused, problem-solving approach to sleep, mood, or daily stress, he offers an organized, practical path forward.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when things feel difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep by shifting how people respond to stressful thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is often used for insomnia, panic, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and improve rest.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and adjust as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit around school, work, and caregiving duties. Online sessions can make it easier to check in between appointments, practice strategies learned in session in daily life, or schedule shorter follow-ups when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor homework and pacing so therapy fits into a busy routine rather than replacing it.
