About Rima

LMSW in Michigan with 23 years of experience, Rima Soueidan helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship and family concerns. She also addresses addictions, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, and works with issues such as codependency, abandonment, infidelity, and social anxiety. Rima offers services in English and Arabic and accepts international clients.

Rima uses practical, talk-based approaches in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the client's perspective and on Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to set concrete goals and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Narrative methods are used to slow down overwhelming reactions and to reframe difficult personal stories.

Sessions are organized around clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Rima helps people identify patterns, try new responses, and track small changes over time. She pays attention to how stress and past events influence current relationships and daily functioning.

Her background spans many years working with complex emotional and interpersonal problems. That experience informs a practical style that balances listening with active tools and exercises. People who come for help can expect direct discussion about coping skills, thought patterns, and relationship dynamics.

To begin, clients follow the site flow to the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Rima applies approaches to online work

Rima often uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the client's perspective, encourage honest reflection, and prioritize the issues the person identifies. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and choices without being directed toward a specific plan.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and to develop practical coping strategies. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that sustain relationship problems. Mindfulness Therapy is used to slow down intense reactions and build attention to present-moment experience, which can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Deciding on the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans over time based on what helps. The client and therapist work together to choose which tools to use.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing sessions during a lunch break, or offering shorter check-ins when needed. For practical reasons like bandwidth or comfort, some people prefer audio over video or shorter sessions; discuss these options when you schedule to find what fits.
