About Rieke

Rieke Herrmann Marzouki is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers her work on helping people navigate relationship strains, family conflict, trauma, and emotional regulation.

Background and approach

She draws on Internal Family Systems alongside attachment-informed and client-centered principles to support clients in accessing their strengths and understanding the parts of themselves that shape reactions to stress and grief.

With five years of formal licensure in Hawaii, she also brings over a decade of hands-on experience addressing anger, intimacy challenges, substance-related concerns, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s expertise in their own life, pairing practical tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies with deeper exploration of patterns that arise in relationships and parenting.

Rieke offers services in English and German and aims to meet clients where they are, helping them build skills for coping with life changes, managing cravings or compulsions, and restoring connection after loss. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and works to create a welcoming, strengths-focused space for change.

Clinical Approaches and Online Support

Rieke integrates Internal Family Systems and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online practice. Internal Family Systems helps clients identify and dialogue with different internal parts that hold emotions or protective behaviors, useful for trauma responses, anxiety, and inner conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed in early bonds and how those patterns influence current relationships and intimacy challenges.

She frames the selection of an approach as a collaborative process, working with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. Over the first sessions she will explore whether a strengths-based, insight-oriented path or a more skills-focused track using CBT or DBT techniques will be most helpful, and adjust the plan together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for practicing new skills and processing emotions with a licensed professional.
