About Rivkah
Rivkah Barmore is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, addiction, trauma, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She brings 25 years of clinical experience to sessions and works with a wide range of life issues including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.
Rivkah favors a warm, responsive approach that centers the client's experience.
Background and approach
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behavior. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to map patterns in close relationships. Her style is practical and straightforward.
Sessions often include talking through recent events, identifying patterns, and trying small experiments between meetings. For parents she focuses on clear communication, setting limits that feel manageable, and rebuilding connection with children and partners. Rivkah also attends to the body-mind link and brings holistic elements into care when helpful.
She has worked in individual, group, and family settings and has experience with adoption and foster care, abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency, commitment and control issues. She offers in-person work in Oregon and online sessions for people outside the state. Conversations are anchored in practical tools and steady support, with goals set together and adjusted as needs change.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current behavior and connection. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or repeating old patterns in relationships by identifying those patterns and trying new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday stresses because it gives concrete skills to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions in close relationships and then change the negative cycles that push partners or family members apart.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rivkah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs shift.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get brief support and to share reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity of care across locations.
