About Rima

Rima Soueidan, LMSW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She supports those coping with trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, and shifts in life circumstances. Her tone is straightforward and steady, focused on clear steps rather than jargon.

She uses a client-centered approach that puts each person’s goals first. Sessions are driven by what matters most to the individual, and the pace is set together. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches are used when they help reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

Rima draws on 23 years of experience working with a wide range of issues. She often addresses codependency, abandonment wounds, impulsivity, and difficulties like social anxiety and isolation. She also helps people facing complications from personality dynamics, infidelity, or non-monogamous relationship structures.

Her background includes work with people from different cultural and language backgrounds, and she conducts therapy in English and Arabic. She practices in Michigan as a licensed master social worker and brings a steady, nonjudgmental presence to sessions.

Rima aims to help people build stronger coping skills and greater self-compassion. In sessions she combines listening with concrete tools so clients can try things between meetings. The emphasis is on realistic changes that fit into everyday life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experiences, offering supportive listening and guidance based on what the individual wants to work on. It helps when someone needs space to process feelings and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and increase present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rima will work with the client to identify which methods suit their needs and goals, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. The choice of techniques is guided by the person’s preferences and what fits into their life.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and let someone use shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also allow work on practical skills between sessions so changes are more likely to stick.
