About Richlyn
Richlyn Fletcher uses relationship-focused and practical therapy to help people handle stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of experience and offers a calm, straightforward style that centers on each person's strengths. Richlyn works from New York and conducts sessions in English.
She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment, or close connections.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple ways to stay grounded in difficult moments. Richlyn includes Client-Centered techniques that let a person steer the work at their own pace. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding the energy to change habits or cope with addictions.
She sometimes brings in music, movement, or art to aid expression when words are hard to find. Her practical focus is on building coping skills and clearer communication. People come for help with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, sleeping problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and complicated grief among other concerns.
Richlyn emphasizes realistic steps clients can use between sessions. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to start the work. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their life.

Online support
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. In online sessions this approach helps people notice patterns that affect trust, abandonment fears, or communication and then practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to shift unhelpful habits. CBT works well online for problems like anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and coping with life changes because homework and skill practice are easy to share across sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize attachment exploration, skill-based CBT, mindfulness practices, or a mix of methods based on needs and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions are useful for shorter updates, ongoing reminders, or those who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules and to keep continuity when travel or life changes occur.
