About Ryckel
Ryckel Franklin is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns. She uses a straightforward, compassionate style to help people feel heard and begin making small changes that add up. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to everyday pressures and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach centers on collaboration. She listens to what matters most and helps set clear, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Conversations often include problem solving, emotion regulation techniques, and ways to improve communication with others. The goal is to build skills that fit into daily life. Ryckel pays attention to how attachment, body image, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation shape people’s choices.
She also supports work on commitment issues, guilt, shame, and men’s issues. When obsessive thoughts, panic, or self-harm concerns come up, she helps people name patterns and practice safer coping options. Clients can expect practical tools for mood regulation and routines that reduce overwhelm.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s pace and preferences. Progress is tracked in small steps rather than sudden changes. Based in New Jersey, Ryckel offers sessions in English.
Her practice aims to be affirming and attentive to diverse backgrounds while helping people find clearer direction and more steady emotional balance.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Ryckel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, usable ways. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method focuses on noticing specific thoughts, testing them, and trying different responses in everyday situations.Another approach focuses on building emotional regulation and coping skills. It teaches short exercises for calming intense feelings, managing panic, and reducing urges tied to obsessive thoughts or self-harm. These skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions to build steadier routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she and the client decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit a short break during a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are handy for quick check-ins, between-session support, or when typing feels easiest. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
