About Richlyn

Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience practicing in New York. She combines a holistic sensibility with evidence-based techniques, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to support clients navigating stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her training and long experience inform a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s situation and goals. Fletcher integrates creative methods such as music, movement, and art when they can aid expression and therapeutic progress, and she emphasizes individual strengths throughout treatment.

Her practice addresses relationship challenges, parenting concerns, sleep difficulties, self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of additional concerns including attachment and co-morbidity. Working in New York has given her broad cultural exposure, and she aims to develop a collaborative working relationship that centers each client’s definition of healing and well-being.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on understanding relational patterns and how early bonds shape current relationships; in online sessions this can surface through discussion of patterns, emotional responses, and interpersonal goals to improve connection and boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and skill-building, which adapts readily to remote formats through structured conversations and at-home practice. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring personal values and ambivalence, often using reflective listening and small achievable steps that clients can pursue between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to identify what methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques over time to find the best fit for progress. This partnership helps tailor sessions to what is most useful for the individual.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access therapy from varied locations while working with licensed professionals who adjust methods to suit each client’s circumstances.
