About Ryckel
Ryckel Franklin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Ryckel also focuses on life purpose questions and the everyday effects of isolation and caregiver stress.
She uses a collaborative, strengths-oriented style. Sessions involve exploring current struggles, practical coping strategies, and clearer ways to communicate with others. Conversations aim to make decisions and small changes feel more manageable rather than sudden or dramatic shifts.
Ryckel pays attention to attachment patterns and how they shape relationships. That can include looking at commitment worries, communication breakdowns, and recurring family conflicts. She also addresses issues such as body image, guilt, shame, and mood problems in straightforward terms.
For people with obsessive thoughts, panic, or self-harm concerns, Ryckel works to identify triggers and step-by-step responses that reduce overwhelm. When ADHD affects daily functioning, she helps break tasks into practical routines and problem-solving steps.
Her work is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a culturally aware perspective. New clients begin by describing their immediate concerns and goals so session time is used on concrete next steps and options. To schedule, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and remote work
Ryckel works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and thought patterns. One common approach helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and avoidance so anxiety and mood symptoms become easier to manage. Another approach targets relationship and attachment patterns by looking at how past experiences shape current interactions and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ryckel will discuss what seems most useful based on a client's goals, symptoms, and preferences and adjust the plan as they learn what helps. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding practical ways to move forward.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving commuting time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Ask about the exact session options offered when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
