Rivkah Barmore , LMFT

Rivkah Barmore is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon with 25 years of clinical experience. She has provided individual, group, family, and couples counseling across the lifespan, working with clients from early childhood through older adulthood. Her practice includes support for traditional and non-traditional relationship structures, and she has experience serving LGBQ and pan-gender individuals.

Rivkah draws from a holistic healing perspective that attends to mind, body, and spirit while working toward practical change. Her training spans client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, trauma-focused work, anger management, and chemical dependency recovery, as well as Emotional Freedom Therapy and tapping methods. That blend allows her to tailor interventions to concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family issues, relationship and intimacy challenges, and struggles with self-esteem, ADHD, and bipolar disorder.

She also focuses on attachment-related matters, abandonment, adoption and foster care dynamics, codependency, control and commitment issues, and compassion fatigue. Rivkah combines evidence-informed tools with a collaborative, person-centered stance to help families and individuals build skills, strengthen connections, and navigate life transitions.

Attachment, Client-Centered Care, and Online Therapy

Rivkah integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy into her online practice to address a range of relationship and emotional concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of connection and security in relationships, helping clients understand how early bonds influence current interactions and creating paths toward safer, more satisfying attachments. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, offering a supportive space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past traumatic experiences and uses targeted strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, particularly for clients coping with abuse, loss, or overwhelming stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rivkah works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and refine techniques so the treatment remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to receive consistent care from home or while traveling. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver structured, ongoing support and to adapt session styles to what works best for each client.
