About Richelle
Richelle Kramer is a licensed social worker with three decades of clinical experience. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from Minnesota. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges.
Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. Sessions emphasize practical steps, clear goals, and steady support rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all fixes.
Richelle uses methods that help people notice thoughts and patterns, try small changes, and build skills that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She often draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelming feelings and reframe unhelpful thinking. She also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when people want help clarifying goals and staying motivated. These approaches help with recovery from addiction, coping with grief, and making career or life transitions.
Clients who reach out often want help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, or medical and caregiving stress. Richelle has additional experience with adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and developmental differences, chronic illness and pain, and postpartum mood concerns. She aims to guide people toward achievable changes and clearer next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to talk through feelings and figure out what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches practical ways to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and coping with stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, realistic steps and adjust the plan as progress or new concerns arise.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video helps recreate a face-to-face conversation, while phone calls work well when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step coaching easier between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum on goals without long commutes.
