About Richelle
Richelle Rojas-Basuil is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She holds an LCSW and has three years of direct experience providing individual and group therapy. Richelle aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people who are stressed, anxious, or facing major life changes.
Before moving into her current work she spent several years in school settings supporting adolescents. That time included crisis intervention and work with at-risk youth who were coping with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences.
Background and approach
Those early roles shaped how she listens and responds in therapy. Richelle uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered ways of working to follow what matters most to the person in the room.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify patterns of thinking and try small experiments to test new behaviors. Therapy with her tends to be practical and collaborative. She asks about a person's goals and then helps break them into manageable steps.
She checks in about what is and is not working and adjusts the plan together. People reach out to Richelle for help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and social anxiety.
How her approaches work online and in session
Richelle uses client-centered work to put the person's priorities first and to shape conversations around what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, steady support, and space to name their goals.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers concrete tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change behavior, useful for anxiety and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Richelle collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts the plan together so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives in several ways. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum and try new skills in everyday settings.
