How Richelle's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first, so the therapist follows what the client wants to work on and shapes each session around that. This approach helps when people need someone who listens closely and adapts the conversation to their life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression because it teaches practical skills and clear steps to try between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions. It pairs well with CBT when someone wants tools to calm their nervous system and stay present during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day schedule. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy days, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and allows for brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on what the therapist offers. Discussing practical needs and preferences at the start helps match approach and format to real-life routines.
