Ricki Hoover, LCSW, CPGC

“I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported. Healing requires compassion.”
About Me & My Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Problem Gambling Counselor with years of experience supporting individuals and families facing mental health, substance use, and gambling-related challenges. Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize an eclectic, evidence-based approach that incorporates mindfulness practices and a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

My therapeutic style is strength-based, collaborative, and grounded in authentic human connection. I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore challenges, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My passion for counseling is rooted in my belief that healing begins with compassion and connection. I strive to provide clients with a safe space where they can process life’s challenges while building resilience, self-awareness, and confidence throughout their recovery and mental health journey.

Outside of my clinical work, I value mindfulness, personal growth, and maintaining balance through meaningful connection and self-care practices.
