Richlyn is awesome! We've worked together for quite a while now. She always finds a way to give me new perspective or insight which allows me to ask myself the right questions. When I go on a rant she listens attentively and somehow recaps it all and imparts words of wisdom that often leave me speechless (in the best way). In times of great stress she has reached out to me outside of scheduled sessions through the app to check-in - which is a testament to how much she is willing to help

Thank you for inquiring as to what I can offer in your quest for a professional therapist. My name is Richlyn Fletcher, and I have served in the helping profession as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 29 years. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from Buffalo State College in Social Work and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in New York City. Working in New York City has allowed me to serve clients from various ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and belief systems. Therefore, my approach is holistic in nature, and I incorporate music, movement, art, etc. when appropriate to help with expression and to create change in the healing process. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness therapy, and individual strengths as techniques to help you reach your goals. Help is available to improve coping skills and work towards healing from depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, post-traumatic stress, and numerous other mental health diagnoses and physical illnesses. This includes individuals, couples, and families. I am available and willing to receive you, develop a working relationship, and treat you as the unique individual you are.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Richlyn has been awesome. She has helped me become more self aware of my behavior triggers and more mindful of my conscious actions. Our sessions have helped me communicate more openly in my relationship.
Richlyn has been awesome. During our time working together she has helped me through very difficult times by listening to me and guiding me. I am grateful to her for the progress I have been able to make, and am continuing to learn in every session.
Richlyn has been an amazing support system for me. She is always encouraging and works hard to create a safe space for me to be open and honest about everything and anything judgement free. I wouldn’t change anything about her methods and the person that she is for me.
Thanks Rich. We will be traveling mid Sept to HI with a couple who does not drink, so this will be a good test. Things are looking better but I’ve thought that before. Annie will detox…she knows. Tom
Richlyn has been great so far. She listens well and prompts me to speak and dig into my thoughts and emotions without judgement. Near the end of the sessions she has dropped wisdom and validated what I'm going through and somehow makes everything I said come together. I look forward to continuing this process with her.
Richlyn is amazing. She makes me feel comfortable enough to open up and I feel a psychological safe space when we talk. Her focus is clearly on our session and my thoughts and feelings. I would happily recommend her to anyone who just needs someone to talk to.
Great therapist!
Richlyn has helped me even in our first session. I didn’t know how effective therapy with the RIGHT person would be, but it has exceeded my expectations. It’s difficult to go through, but Richlyn is very kind and understanding. She lets me be myself, and already gives off the vibe that she accepts you for who you are and is just willing to help you get better. And honestly, with how much I pay a month for Better Help I’m getting great value with her as my therapist. Trust me, I hate spending money but she makes every cent worth it. What I thought would be a couple months ordeal, I realize that I need more time to heal. I am perfectly fine going on this journey to better myself with the help of Richlyn.
Richlyn is everything you could hope for in a therapist. She's a good friend who lets you vent, but also an objective eye when you need a direction. I'm very grateful for all the support she has given me!
I have only had a couple of sessions with Richlyn but they have been awesome. Definitely recommend her !!!!
I've just started my sessions with Richlyn and I already can feel the difference it's making. I know it's going to be a tough long road but it makes me feel better knowing that she is the one helping me on this. She is good at what she does and I would recommend her to my close friends.
very understanding and helpful counselor. organized and caring
Richlyn has been very patient and encouraging! Her insights have helped me a lot. She has a way of making me feel very comfortable around her while keeping an objective eye on me.
Richlyn is an excellent therapist. She is insightful and helps me to process my feelings. She is kind, listens and gives thought provoking feedback that helps me better process my emotions. Richlyn has a lot of experience and picks up on when she should help me explore topics more in depth and backs away when she sees that I am getting overwhelmed. I enjoy the push to help me with my process. In the past several months of working with her, I feel more confident and empowered to work on myself and my relationships. I tell Richlyn she has been such a blessing in my life. I can honestly say that she genuinely cares about my well being.
Richlyn has been very helpful even in the short time I have worked with her. She offers helpful insight and allows me to see things about myself I had not noticed previously. She is warm and smart and truly enjoy her expertise and methods.
Richlyn has been very helpful! She listens, tailors advice to me, and always helps to guide me to find solutions or make connections to things without directly telling me the answers. She's also extremely responsive to questions and any comments I may have.
In the short amount of time that I've been talking to Richlyn, she's been so helpful and has great advice. I've been able to smooth out some kinks in my relationship with my husband. I love the goals that she helps me reach every week as well. Over all I'm very happy with our sessions and look forward to continuing our work together.
I enjoy my counselor. She is very compassionate and I really feel better after our sessions.
