Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loss, and life changes. She practices in New York and uses a down-to-earth style to help people find practical ways to feel better. Richlyn keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. She blends conversation with creative tools like music, movement, and art when they can help expression and healing.
Richlyn trained at Buffalo State College and Fordham University and has worked with people from many ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Attachment-Based and client-centered ideas. She uses those tools to help people build coping skills, change unhelpful thinking, and strengthen meaningful relationships.
Sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and gentle exploration of painful memories. Richlyn helps people manage addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image concerns, and the fallout after natural or human-caused disasters.
Her approach is collaborative and adaptable. Richlyn pays attention to individual strengths and works at each person’s pace. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to notice real change.
People who choose her can expect steady, respectful care that centers their goals. New clients start by sharing what they hope to change, and then Richlyn helps shape a plan that fits their life and needs.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and closeness. Online work can use conversations and reflective exercises to rebuild safer ways of connecting and to notice how relationships affect mood and behavior.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical method that looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions people learn to spot unhelpful thinking, practice new skills, and try small behavioral changes between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining attachment work, CBT, and mindfulness tools over time, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how this therapist is meeting people online. Many clients find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quiet space without traveling. The therapist will help match session length and format to what works in daily routines and responsibilities.
