About Ryckel

Ryckel Franklin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and challenges related to relationships and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She uses a collaborative, strengths-focused style that centers each person's lived experience and cultural background, helping clients identify practical steps for managing mood, communication, and everyday stressors. Her work attends to a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, commitment or communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and obsessive or compulsive patterns.

Ryckel aims to empower clients by building skills for emotional regulation, clearer interpersonal boundaries, and renewed purpose. Based in New Jersey, she offers sessions in English and adapts her approach to the priorities and goals each client brings to therapy.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care Together

Ryckel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and insight. One common approach emphasizes cognitive and behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping habits; this helps with anxiety, mood regulation, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors. Another notable element of her work centers on attachment-informed interventions that explore relational patterns and improve communication and boundaries in close relationships.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Ryckel partners with each client to determine which approaches align with their goals, values, and day-to-day needs, and she adjusts methods over time based on what is most helpful for progress.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them. The variety of session types also enables sessions that focus on skill practice, brief check-ins, or deeper conversations according to what a client needs at different stages.
