Tyra Rickman, LPC

Tyra Rickman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who helps people handle stress, anxiety, parenting strains, and issues tied to self-esteem. She offers steady support while clients talk through painful experiences like trauma and abuse. Tyra aims to make first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful.

She keeps sessions simple and direct. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. She listens for patterns that affect relationships and daily life, then works with clients to try different ways of coping and relating.

Tyra draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered skills to shape sessions. That means she pays attention to thoughts that fuel anxiety, early relationship patterns that affect trust, and the person’s own goals and pace. Sessions are guided by what the client wants to address first.

People come to Tyra for a range of concerns including panic attacks, postpartum depression, blended family stress, codependency, and grief around separation or divorce. She also supports people dealing with body image, shame and guilt, and difficulties with commitment or control.

Her approach combines practical strategies and a respectful, warm tone. Tyra encourages small experiments between sessions and checks in on what helps and what doesn’t. She aims to create a space where honest conversation leads to clearer choices and more steady days.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Tyra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that increase anxiety or keep them stuck, then try small behavior changes to test different outcomes. Attachment-Based Therapy helps uncover patterns from early relationships that affect trust and closeness now, which can be useful for family and parenting stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tyra will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then pick or combine methods that fit. That collaborative process means the focus can shift as needs change, and clients help shape which tools to practice between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy days. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and fit counseling into daily life.
