Adam Riffe , LMFT

Adam Riffe is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with 12 years of professional experience. He works with individuals and families to address stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, family conflict, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person's needs.

Adam approaches therapy from the perspective that clients are the experts on their own stories and that strengths already present in a person can be mobilized to face current challenges. He aims to create a collaborative environment where practical skills and insight come together to support change. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Adam positions himself as a steady source of support throughout that process.

Adam holds the LMFT credential, which indicates licensure in marriage and family therapy, and maintains an active Minnesota license. He is not accepting new clients at this time.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Work with Families and Individuals

Adam uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skill building and relational understanding. One focus is skills-based work for stress and anxiety - teaching concrete tools for managing racing thoughts, physical tension, and overwhelming emotions so daily functioning improves and coping becomes more effective. Another emphasis is family and relationship work - exploring patterns of communication, attachment, and roles within the family system to improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts. A third area includes approaches that support recovery from substance use challenges by helping clients identify triggers, develop healthier routines, and strengthen motivation for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Adam collaborates with each client to determine what methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He tailors techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and daily life, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
