About Richlyn

Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience offering psychotherapy and supportive care to individuals, couples, and families. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work from Buffalo State College and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University - academic preparation that supports her clinical practice as a licensed social worker.

Having worked in New York City, she has experience with people from a wide range of cultural, ethnic, and belief backgrounds. This exposure informs a holistic approach that values creative expression; she integrates music, movement, and art into sessions when these methods can aid expression and promote change.

Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and a strengths-based perspective. These approaches are used to help clients build coping skills and pursue recovery from conditions such as depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, and post-traumatic stress, as well as to address a variety of other mental health diagnoses and physical health challenges.

Richlyn emphasizes a collaborative therapeutic relationship. She welcomes new clients, aims to understand each person as an individual, and works with them to identify practical ways to reach their goals and move toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with coping and mood. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; it can support clients dealing with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people explore their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation, which is useful for issues like addictions, ambivalence about treatment, and behavior change.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Richlyn works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods that fit. The result is a flexible plan that draws on evidence-based techniques while honoring individual strengths and values.

Online therapy can make that collaboration easier to access. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can schedule care around work and family commitments, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide consistent care, session-to-session support, and practical tools that fit into everyday life.
