About Richelle
Richelle Rojas-Basuil is a California licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, with three years of direct experience providing individual and group therapy. She has prior work with adolescents in school settings and has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, and crisis situations.
She helps people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Common concerns she addresses include stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, and adjusting to life changes. Richelle also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.
In sessions she follows a nonjudgmental, trauma-informed stance. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses conversational methods to identify small steps forward. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy are mixed with client-centered conversation and narrative work to review how past stories shape current choices.
Richelle draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want and to strengthen motivation for change. She offers both short-term skill building and longer-term work on patterns that keep recurring. She is comfortable working through intense feelings like shame, guilt, and grief, and talks plainly about coping strategies to manage them.
People who come because they feel directionless or unsure what comes next often find the sessions are focused on concrete goals. She invites clients to name hopes for therapy and then collaborates on practical steps toward those goals.

How Richelle uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people name their goals and feel understood before moving to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses clear exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood, or problematic routines.The right approach often blends methods. Richelle will work collaboratively to decide which techniques fit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean starting with conversation to clarify aims, adding CBT tools for stress or depression, and using motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by saving travel time, making shorter check-ins possible, or allowing scheduling during a lunch break. If you want to explore next steps, complete the platform's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to discuss how to work together.
