About Richlyn

Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of professional experience supporting individuals, couples, and families in New York. She earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Buffalo State College and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University in New York City. Her practice in New York City exposed her to people from many ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and belief systems, shaping a holistic and culturally responsive approach to care.

She often incorporates expressive methods such as music, movement, and art when appropriate to help clients access emotions and foster change. Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Therapy, paired with a strengths-based focus to build practical coping skills. These approaches are used to address a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, post-traumatic stress, relationship challenges, parenting issues, sleep difficulties, and other mental health or physical health conditions.

Richlyn works with individuals, couples, and families and centers each treatment plan on the unique needs and goals of the person or people she is working with. Her style emphasizes collaboration and finding concrete, personalized ways to move toward improved functioning and a sense of wholeness.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of connection and trust. It helps people understand and shift relational patterns that contribute to difficulties in close relationships, intimacy, or reactions to loss and abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping strategies by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own perspective and strengths, offering empathetic listening and collaborative goal setting to support self-esteem, decision making, and coping through life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver evidence-based techniques, maintain continuity of care, and support clients in applying skills between sessions.
