Rima Soueidan

Rima Soueidan is a licensed social worker with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship strain, issues around self-esteem, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Her sessions focus on understanding each person's story and practical next steps. She uses straightforward talk, gentle listening, and tools people can try between sessions. Rima emphasizes coping skills that fit daily life and small behavior changes that add up.

Rima draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, mindfulness, and narrative approaches. That mix lets her address painful memories, patterns that keep repeating, and ways of thinking that increase distress. She helps people test new habits and notice what actually works for them.

She brings experience with complex concerns such as codependency, impulsivity, substance use, personality dynamics, and issues around infidelity or non-monogamous relationships. Her background also supports work around abandonment, isolation, and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic, and she practices in Michigan. Rima describes her role as a collaborator who listens, reflects, and offers practical ideas so people can move toward clearer choices and steadier days.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rima uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process painful or frightening experiences and reduce the ways those memories continue to cause distress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective so sessions follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that change outcomes.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That teamwork helps shape treatment plans that feel relevant and realistic for day-to-day life.

The practical benefit of online care is making therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule. Online options can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or family commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. A conversation during intake will clarify which online arrangements are available and how they can best support ongoing work.
