She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Buffalo State College and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University in New York City, and she brings that foundation to a practice informed by cultural sensitivity and respect for diverse backgrounds.

Her therapeutic approach is holistic and flexible, often incorporating creative modalities such as music, movement, and art when these tools support expression and change. As a clinician she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, along with an emphasis on individual strengths, to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Richlyn works with individuals, couples, and families on a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and communication problems, parenting and blended family issues, sleep difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, and coping with life changes and medical comorbidities. Her practice centers on collaborative goal setting and practical strategies designed to improve coping skills, promote resilience, and support each person’s path toward healing and greater well-being.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online

Richlyn Fletcher integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet a range of needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and safety in relationships, helping people address attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties that affect emotional well-being. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own perspective and strengths, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore identity, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Richlyn collaborates with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and acceptable, working with clients’ preferences and priorities throughout care.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals and therapists. Video calls and phone sessions permit face-to-face conversations from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or clients with busy schedules. These modalities can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into daily life, and access support from different locations.
