I’ve been working with Rick for a little over a year. A year ago, I was incredibly reactive and ready to escalate anything at all into either utter panic or fury. Yesterday I almost missed an important work task- a year ago, I would absolutely have cried and yelled and panicked that I would be fired. Yesterday I decided to be calm, because getting upset wouldn’t fix it faster. If that isn’t a five-star review, I don’t know what is.

Rick has helped me tremendously to gain back some normalcy in my life. At one time I was wracked with anxiety/worry about things that I believed were out of my control and Rick helped me to pull myself out of that cycle. He's a very patient man and has a careful ear for listening to your problems. He gives you his full attention when you're with him and he'll give you his honest feedback, everytime. He has a very direct approach to problem-solving, which I really appreciated. Overall, he's been fantastic in helping me to cope with what has been giving me so much fear/anxiety. I'm very grateful for having him here to give me the tools/perspective I need to keep on living my life and to deal with anxiety the best way I can: one day at a time. Thanks, Rick

In a few short weeks Rick has imparted upon me a feeling of optimism and a fresh way of viewing previously insurmountable emotional situations.

Took me a bit to find a counselor that felt right! But we got it down and I'm comfortable and he makes me uncomfortable in the best way so that I learn and grow from the experiences that I had before. He does give homework and it is a good thing but invest in him and yourself!

Rick was an amazing counselor. I felt comfortable talking with him about my issues, and he listened to everything I said.

I've been working with Rick for over a year and I've found Rick to be an outstanding individual and therapist. He has always showed up on time and responded to my messages in a prompt fashion. I was on a dead end path to self-destruction, and Rick saved me from a perilous future. He has taught me how to live a peaceful and wholehearted life. I can't say enough about Rick.

Rick has been such a blessing in my life. Rick worked first with me in couples counseling and after realizing I needed to seperate from my husband, he remained my counselor individually. He has helped me work through so much of my issues of codependency and heartbreak. He has always been honest with me, and every time I leave a session with him, I genuinely feel heard and understood. I highly recommend him if you are struggling in a toxic relationship with a partner or yourself.

Rick has been nothing short of dedicated and supportive since I started sessions with him via BetterHelp. Since talking with Rick, I have learnt a lot about my issues with the grief I have as well as my needs and abilities I sometimes fail to recognise.

I would highly recommend him and will truly miss speaking to him on a regular basis!

I consider myself very lucky to have found Rick on BetterHelp. Rick is very attentive, caring and such a very good listener.

Rick is such a professional but I feel that he’s also my friend. It’s always a pleasure to talk to him. He believes in me even though I didn’t believe in myself. His help means so much more to me than he knows. I would recommend Rick with all my heart. I wish I could met Rick someday to give him a hug and say my sincere gratitude.

I worked with Rick for about three months and he truly changed my life. He not only helped with the issues I have around grief and anxiety, but he was also able to pinpoint some issues I have with OCD and growing up in an alcoholic home. I now have a better understanding of why I do the things I do, so I can be more cognizant of my future behavior. Rick also gave me some techniques that I'll continue to use on a daily basis. I feel a thousand times better and more at ease than I did before Rick and I first connected. I can't say enough good things about working with Rick. I would reach out to him again in a heartbeat and would definitely refer my friends.

I absolutely loved talking to Rick. He is one of my all time favorite counselors. He helped me so much in the few months I talked to him. He’s very smart and has very trusted resources to provide excellent therapy. I’m a very hard patient to work with and deal with and Rick has helped me more than all of my therapists I’ve had over the 10 years of dealing with my mental illnesses. And I recently got diagnosed with BPD and all the resources Rick gave me have helped me more than the past programs I’ve tried. Thank you so much Rick your amazing!

Rick Fulton has proven to be a very helpful person for me this year. When I signed up, I was an emotional wreck due to family turmoil, a divorce, and losing my job. He helped me sort through my many feelings, gave me great advice, and provided resources I didn't even know to Google for. I feel stronger having been heard and know what to do in emotional crisis situations. Sometimes all we need is for someone to listen, non-judgementally, and tell us it won't always be this way. Dark times don't last forever. Highly recommend him if you need an experienced, kind ear.

Rick quickly identified the issues I was having and gave me the tools to improve my mental health.

He also gave some good insight that one may not necessarily have if seeing a counselor who only specializes in couples, so it was a valuable experience.

I’m a pharmacy student and have had struggles with anxiety, depression, and shutting down often. Our school pays for free counseling, but with our schedules as a student and the office’s packed schedule, it was hard to see a therapist as regularly as I needed to. I often had break downs from stress and was emotionally shut down. I had gone a few times, but I didn’t feel like anything was that great.
By having an open dialogue with Rick Fulton, in just over 1 month, I was able to realize what the source of my issues were. I know how to get better and will continue to work on it. He made it relatable! I am a bookworm and nerdy and it he explained it to me in my language. I am getting better, I am more calm. I still have moments, but I have been able to avoid medications and all their horrible side effects. Like I mentioned before, I am a pharmacy student and would rather not have to take an antidepressant or antianxiety medication.
It’s work, but I never thought I would have a chance at overcoming my anxiety/depression that is so closely linked to my past.
Rick’s help has not only helped me in my personal life, but also to become a more well-rounded practitioner with better professional relationships- which means that I can truly become the best for patients!

Rick has a very solution-based approach in treatment and I have made so much progress with him. This has been a great change of pace from therapists who have let me marinate on my issues, instead of focusing on moving past them. Thank you Rick!

Rick has been especially helpful to me throughout my time with BetterHelp. He serves as an on-demand counselor so it's more effective than a traditional hour a week service.

At first I was skeptical about using an online counselor, but this seemed to be the best option for me at the time. I do not regret it at all! Rick has been an amazing counselor who has given me many tools to use with my anxiety. I have seen a change in my confidence and how I view my anxiety. Rick is very attentive, and I appreciate that he checks on me periodically if he hasn't heard from me in awhile. I haven't been able to confide in many people about my anxiety, but Rick has made this experience comfortable and has guided me along every step of my journey.
Thank you Rick!

Amazing. I asked for an analytical counselor and Rick has been the answer to my prayers sharing valuable information and resources with me. He's had the perfect answers and offers the best advice.

Rick was super helpful and caring. He responded very quickly, which I found most helpful. He always gave assignments for me to do in between our live chats. This gave me something to work on that improved myself even when I'm not talking to Rick.

Rick has been a great help thus far. I'm not always active on here but he provides so many helpful readings and great insights. He provides tools for me to use to help alleviate my problems and checks in on me often, even when I'm not responsive. It's been a lovely experience so far. I'm glad I tried this.

Rick knows his stuff! Two weeks of his counseling has been worth a year of monthly counseling. He truly understands what I'm feeling, and offers advice that I really needed to hear.

So far, I'd like to testify that Rick has been very helpful at helping me become a more positive person and to help me feel better about myself regardless of what other people might say. Encourage me to live my life and not necessarily be concerned with how other people would want me to leave it.

Great guy, focuses on things that I wouldn't normally consider important.
Written on Sep 17, 2015 after therapy with Rick for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family, parenting, self esteem, career, and depression
Great, practical therapist. Not a lot of "fluff". Rick helped me make huge breakthroughs on problems that had been haunting me for years, and we did that in a short period of time. Never have I felt such gratitude to someone I have never met in person. Thanks Rick-You're the best!
PS: In my case, I think the initial anonymity of online therapy allowed me to more easily talk about my problems. Don't know that I would have ever visited a therapist in person.

Rick has been very helpful for me and has helped me uncover some issues I was not aware. He's always supportive with just the right amount of firmness.

Rick is awesome! I am a therapist myself and when I found myself in an unexpected life crisis, Rick's support and guidance was exactly what I needed! He's both perceptive and compassionate.
Written on Mar 14, 2015 after therapy with Rick for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, and depression
Rick has been incredibly insightful and I really feel that I can openly express myself with him. He always responds quickly and his feedback is almost always helpful. And he is non-judgmental. I feel comfortable talking with him and it truly helps me in my day to day life. I appreciate Rick, and this service, very much. I am not sure that I ever would have gone into a physical office to meet with a counselor so this has been a big step for me.
Written on Feb 25, 2015 after therapy with Rick for 3 weeks on issues concerning self esteem
Rick was a great counselor for me! He is honest without being judgmental, so it was very easy to be open with him. He has given me some really concrete tools to deal with anxiety and to help me feel more confident. He's also given me thoughtful advice to help me deal with more specific issues that have come up in my life including relationship changes, leaving my job, and moving out of state.
I've very much appreciated Rick's timely responses to my messages (usually he responds within the hour, even though we're in different time zones!), and I've also really liked the fact that he checks in when he hasn't heard from me in a few days (but never in an obtrusive way).
Rick is the kind of counselor I've been looking for for years, and I would highly recommend him.

I've been working with Rick for about 4 months now. He immediately answered some questions that had been plaguing me for years. Since that time, Rick has been a great sounding board and guide where problems in my marriage are concerned. The use of the Internet as a medium by which to communicate is great because I can do it entirely in my own time, and more specifically, when I need it. I've also found that writing helps me organize my thoughts. I would recommend Rick as a therapist to anyone who is having marital or relationship issues.

I started texting Rick last month he hit my problem right away I I am feeling better. He has told me to how to work on myself. I have a long way to go but I am sure Rick will get me through. This texting is great for me as I am starting to be agoraphobic so I can get help without going out. I highly recommend Rick he has given me hope when I was hopeless.
