About Ruifeng

Dr. Ruifeng (Richard) Cui is a clinical psychologist licensed in West Virginia (WV Psychologist 1326) with seven years of professional experience.

Background and approach

He earned his PhD in clinical psychology from West Virginia University and has worked with adults facing a wide spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, stress, relationship and family struggles, ADHD, and career or life-purpose questions.

His background also includes work with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, multicultural and immigration-related issues, caregiver and aging concerns, and other complex emotional challenges. Dr.

Cui’s style centers on collaboration and practical problem solving. He blends cognitive behavioral tools with acceptance and mindfulness-based practices and draws on client-centered and dialectical skill-building techniques to help people clarify goals, test new behaviors, and reduce unhelpful patterns.

Sessions focus on identifying specific problems, developing actionable strategies, and supporting clients as they practice changes between meetings. For those seeking flexible formats, he offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varying schedules and needs.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Dr. Cui commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing alternative responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. ACT centers on clarifying values and learning acceptance and mindfulness skills so clients can move toward meaningful actions even when difficult emotions are present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and how different strategies fit their life, adjusting methods over time to find what is most useful for managing symptoms and achieving practical goals.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for scheduling flexibility and continuity of care across varied routines. These formats make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to receive support in ways that align with daily life while working with a licensed professional in West Virginia.
