About Ramon

Ramon Reina is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, licensed in Minnesota. He has 30 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and anger. He also works with issues like parenting, addiction, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Ramon uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions. He describes therapy as a practical conversation about what is happening now and what a person wants to be different. He draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused approaches to shape those conversations. He aims to help people recognize patterns in relationships and in their responses to stress.

In practice he focuses on specific problems people bring, such as recurring anger, communication problems, or the fallout from separation and divorce. He works with underlying themes like abandonment, attachment issues, family of origin problems, and feelings of emptiness or shame. He also supports people dealing with first responder stress, fatherhood concerns, and blended-family challenges.

Ramon describes his style as personable and practical. He encourages people to consider choices that lead to workable changes. Sessions often include talking through recent conflicts, identifying patterns, and trying straightforward strategies to reduce frustration and improve interactions.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches are used in online sessions

Ramon draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past and present relationships affect current feelings and reactions. That approach helps when anger or trust issues come from longstanding patterns with partners or family. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening closely and helping people name their goals and priorities in plain terms. Those methods are useful for stress, relationship strain, and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ramon will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. He treats this as a collaborative decision and adjusts plans based on what feels most useful in early sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to continue work on relationship patterns, anger management, and coping strategies from wherever someone is located within the therapist's practice region.
