About Ronald

Ronald Faggins is a licensed counselor with more than two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, anger, and depression. He aims to make the first step less intimidating by offering a calm, respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Ronald speaks plain language and focuses on practical ways to make daily life easier.

He uses approaches that help clients notice what matters to them and take workable steps toward those values. Sessions are conversational and direct, with an emphasis on clear strategies you can try between meetings. He listens for strengths and builds on them rather than starting from scratch.

Over 26 years in practice have included a range of settings and client concerns, which inform a flexible, person-centered style. Ronald draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other methods to match each person’s needs. He does not promise outcomes but helps people set realistic goals and track progress.

People who come for help often want concrete tools for handling upsetting thoughts, improving communication, or coping with difficult memories. Ronald offers step-by-step guidance, coping techniques, and collaborative planning to move toward those goals. He encourages small, measurable changes that add up over time.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the usual professional standards for counseling in Nevada. To begin, visitors complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Step 3

How his therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on the client's strengths to increase confidence and problem solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process can include trying different strategies and adjusting as progress is tracked.

Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It can also allow focused skill practice between meetings. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and how to make online appointments work with everyday life.
