About Richlyn
Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience in New York. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship concerns, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and draw on practical methods to improve daily coping.
Fletcher trained in social work at Buffalo State College and earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University. Her early work in New York City exposed her to many cultures and life situations, which shaped a flexible way of working. She uses music, movement and art at times to help people express difficult feelings.
Her clinical approach emphasizes clear skills and active techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about changing behaviors. Mindfulness practices help slow reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience.
Richlyn also draws on attachment-based ideas and a client-centered stance to understand relationship patterns and personal strengths. She helps people build better coping routines, address anger and control issues, and manage grief or life transitions. Work can include exploring abandonment, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, body image, and co-occurring conditions.
Her practice covers a broad range of concerns, including serious mood conditions and medical-related stress. Readers who want to know more are encouraged to review online therapy options and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Richlyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change routines that fuel anger and depression. CBT sessions usually involve setting goals, practicing specific skills, and tracking progress between meetings.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm. Mindfulness work is practical and can be done in short exercises during a session or as brief daily practice.
Attachment-Based Therapy informs her view of relationship patterns and recurring emotional responses. This lens helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings and how to shift long-standing interaction habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and may combine techniques over time to match progress.
