About Rima
Rima Soueidan is an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, trauma and social anxiety and phobia. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and the practice accepts international clients.
Rima uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people cope with distressing emotions and hard situations. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, and on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s perspective. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used when helpful to slow things down and make patterns clearer.
In a typical conversation she helps people identify manageable steps, test out different responses, and build clearer boundaries in relationships. She also works with issues like codependency, abandonment, and impulse-related behaviors. Substance use and grief are addressed through focused problem-solving and trauma-informed care when needed.
Her background includes long experience with multicultural clients and attention to how culture and language shape relationships and stress. That experience informs how she discusses topics such as identity, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and isolation. Practical tools and short-term strategies are blended with deeper reflection depending on what someone needs.

How therapy approaches fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their priorities. It helps when someone needs to be heard, make sense of feelings, and figure out what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, phobias, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which can support anxiety and coping with strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those needs. That way the plan can change if something isn’t helpful, and techniques can be mixed to match what the person finds useful.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let someone connect from a location that works for them and use tools like worksheets, in-session practice, and paced breathing during the appointment.
