Ricky Lomax, LPC

Ricky Lomax is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, and bipolar-related challenges. Ricky also addresses codependency, attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and communication problems.

In sessions he keeps the focus on concrete steps people can try. He helps clients notice patterns that lead to people-pleasing or losing themselves in relationships. He talks through ways to set limits, to strengthen boundaries, and to practice clearer communication with others.

Ricky often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to clarify values and take workable action. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, immediate changes that reduce overwhelm.

When trauma is part of the story he incorporates trauma-focused practices aimed at making difficult memories less disruptive. He also practices client-centered therapy, staying attentive to each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions aim to be practical and direct, not abstract.

Clients can expect conversations that move from problem spotting to specific strategies. Ricky supports people navigating life transitions, adopting new boundaries, or coping with illness and chronic pain. He also works with issues tied to adoption and blended family arrangements, divorce and separation, and recovery from domestic violence.
