About Richlyn
Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 29 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions, sleep difficulties, ADHD, and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and focus on improving coping skills and day-to-day functioning.
She uses a mix of practical methods rather than a single fixed technique. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing are part of her approach. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas and layers in mindfulness practices when helpful.
Richlyn brings a variety of ways to help people express themselves. She may incorporate music, movement, or art when it supports the work. That can make it easier to name feelings, notice patterns, and try new behaviors in small steps.
Her work emphasizes concrete change. That can mean learning new coping skills for anxiety, making a plan to manage mood swings, or addressing patterns of people-pleasing and boundary problems related to codependency. She helps clients identify specific goals and practices to reach them.
Richlyn has long experience with diverse cultural backgrounds and ages in the New York area. She invites straightforward conversation about what someone needs and what might be most helpful. To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are used to match people to a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current responses. Online sessions can be a place to identify those patterns and practice different ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and skill-building. In remote sessions CBT tools can include short practice assignments and structured check-ins to track progress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple awareness of thoughts, body sensations, and breath to reduce reactivity. Brief guided exercises during a session can teach grounding and attention skills useful for anxiety or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use a mix of conversation and practical exercises during a regular weekly meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like CBT worksheets, attachment-focused questions, or mindfulness practices to an online setting to support steady progress.
