About Richelle
Richelle Rojas-Basuil is a licensed clinical social worker in California. She has three years of direct experience providing individual and group therapy, and she keeps the focus on where each person is in the moment. Her style is nonjudgmental and trauma-informed, and she aims to help people name their goals and take small steps toward them.
Richelle previously worked in school settings with adolescents and has experience in crisis intervention and supporting youth with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Background and approach
That background informs her practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She listens for what matters most and helps clients build clearer next steps. Her work addresses common concerns such as stress, worry, low mood, relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes.
She also pays attention to areas like attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation. Sessions often focus on real-world problems and usable strategies. Richelle draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their personal stories. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and offerings are provided in English in California.
Online approaches that focus on goals and everyday change
Richelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening space where people can talk through what matters to them. That approach helps when someone needs emotional support and a chance to name their goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits by teaching practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can help keep progress going between longer sessions and fit into busy days. These formats make it simpler to get consistent support and adapt therapy to daily life.
