About Richelle

Richelle Kramer is a licensed social worker who brings three decades of professional experience to her work. She holds a Minnesota LICSW and a Florida LCSW and focuses on clear, practical help for common life struggles. She speaks plain language and aims to make therapy feel manageable for worried parents and busy adults.

Her sessions start by listening to what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She frames goals together and adapts the plan as needs change.

Background and approach

That approach helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma find steady steps forward. Richelle also works with issues such as parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, addiction, relationship strain, and intimacy-related concerns. She has additional experience with adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and postpartum depression.

This broad background helps when life problems overlap in complex ways. Her style is direct but caring. She blends client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people practice new ways of coping.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods guide short-term planning and goal setting. Richelle aims to help people feel heard and leave sessions with one or two practical steps. She supports clients who want to change their routines, manage strong emotions, or rebuild their sense of control after difficult events.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Richelle commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting what matters most, and shaping goals together so the person feels understood and in charge of change. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers specific strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses mindfulness-based tools to help people build moment-to-moment awareness and calm, which can be useful for coping with overwhelming emotions or chronic stress. These approaches are chosen together with the client, not imposed, and the therapist will help figure out which mix fits the person's goals, needs, and preferences through collaborative conversation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face dialogue and seeing cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in option, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into work, school, or caregiving routines.
