About Bruce
Dr. Bruce E Riecks is a Colorado Psychologist (CO Psychologist Psy.0003201) with three years of experience as a practicing clinician. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose.
He uses straightforward, conversational sessions that mix problem-solving with listening. Conversations are often practical; he helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. He uses humor at times to ease difficult topics and to make progress feel more manageable.
Dr. Riecks draws on client-centered methods to focus on each person’s perspective. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools and mindfulness practices appear in sessions for emotion regulation and grounding.
Sessions involve active work together rather than long lectures. People can expect concrete strategies for sleep, eating, mood swings, addiction coping, and everyday stress. He talks through relationship and communication problems and helps people weigh life changes and choices.
He has experience addressing personality-related concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and problems tied to isolation, shame, or emptiness. He treats substance-related difficulties and co-occurring problems alongside mood or attention issues. Dr. Riecks accepts work with international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. In practice this looks like listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and helping a person steer sessions toward the issues they want to address. It suits people who need clearer direction about their goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about linking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying different behaviors between meetings, and tracking results. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine tools from different approaches so the plan matches what the person wants to achieve.
The original profile specifies phone sessions and video sessions as formats used, and it notes that live chat is not used. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what will be offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options if travel or scheduling is a barrier to in-person visits.
