She brings seven years of professional experience working with adolescents in school settings, including roles that involved crisis intervention and supporting at-risk youth.

Over the past three years she has provided both individual and group therapy, working with young people who have struggled with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and trauma. Her background in school-based settings informs a practical, developmentally attuned approach to helping adolescents navigate emotional and behavioral challenges.

Richelle maintains a nonjudgmental, trauma-informed stance when meeting with individuals and focuses on understanding each person's current needs and therapy goals. She aims to support clients where they are in the process, inviting them to share their hopes for therapy and collaborating to set steps toward those goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Richelle frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace of exploration and change. This approach supports people who need a compassionate space to process emotions and clarify personal goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful coping strategies. CBT is practical and skills-based, often useful for addressing symptoms and developing new ways of managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Richelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy stays aligned with what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Richelle is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access professional support from a licensed clinician without needing to travel.
