About Aquila
Aquila Rives is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and anger. Aquila also supports people facing compassion fatigue and life transitions.
She uses straightforward conversations to understand what is happening in a person's life. Sessions focus on communication problems, family problems, and building self-love. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work and trauma-focused methods to address thoughts and reactions that keep problems repeating.
Her way of working is collaborative. She helps clients identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when someone wants to change habits or follow through on goals.
Aquila also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear, short-term goals. That approach is useful for people who want to reduce anger outbursts, improve conflict conversations, or manage stress at work. She blends these methods to match each person's situation and pace.
She aims to be culturally responsive and can include faith-informed perspectives when that is relevant to the client. People meet to talk through recent events, safety concerns, and recurring patterns, then plan actions to test in everyday life.
How Aquila blends approaches for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort through feelings about anger, grief, or stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing angry reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Aquila will talk with each client about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. That collaborative decision means methods can be adjusted as progress is made or circumstances change.
