About Richelle
Richelle Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from Minnesota. Richelle approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She focuses on practical, straightforward conversations that match a person's needs. Sessions are shaped around the concerns brought in, whether that is anxiety, depression, trauma, or struggles with parenting and caregiving.
Background and approach
She adapts the plan as progress is made and as goals change. Richelle uses a mix of methods to fit each situation. She draws on client-centered work to center the person's experience, cognitive behavioral ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused steps to build immediate, manageable changes.
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used when people want tools for stress and habit change. Her style is steady and collaborative. She listens first, then offers clear options and skills people can try between sessions.
The aim is to make therapy useful for everyday life, not just talk about problems. People who come to Richelle often want help with grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, self-esteem, or career and parenting stress. She also supports those facing chronic health challenges, adoption or foster care questions, and multicultural or identity-related concerns.
Richelle invites people to take the first step toward change. She works with each person to set realistic goals and to track small wins along the way.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and values. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to shape goals and next steps, which helps when someone needs a flexible plan for anxiety or life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and breaks them into small, testable steps. It is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns because it gives clear strategies people can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and build calm. Those short practices can be used anywhere and fit well with phone or text check-ins.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the person's goals, preferences, and the issue at hand. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - add practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to send brief updates, try thought records, or get quick coaching between scheduled sessions. These options help fit therapy into a busy life.
