About Richlyn
Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years in practice. She works from New York and brings a calm, practical approach to common struggles like anger, anxiety, depression, and stress. She uses everyday language and hands-on methods to help people feel steadier and more able to cope.
She relies on a mix of approaches grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and attachment ideas. Sessions often include straightforward skills practice, breathing and grounding exercises, and creative options like music or movement when that helps expression.
Background and approach
Her goal is to make therapy useful and easy to apply between sessions. Fletcher trained with a Bachelor of Social Work from Buffalo State College and earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University. Her long career in New York exposed her to many cultures and life stories, which shaped a flexible, person-centered style.
She emphasizes strengths and practical strategies over jargon. Typical concerns she supports include relationship issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Anger is a named focus area and she offers ways to notice triggers and practice new responses.
People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. Therapy sessions combine talk, skill-building, and sometimes creative activities to help shift patterns. She communicates clearly about steps forward and adjusts methods to what each person finds most helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based ideas focus on how past connections shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect emotions like anger and fear. It often looks at needs and communication habits in everyday interactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems because it provides clear steps to practice between sessions.
Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These skills help with stress, anger, and coping with strong feelings by offering ways to pause and choose responses rather than react automatically.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust techniques based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to build useful habits over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video appointments let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, and steady support without scheduling a full call.
