About Richelle
Richelle Kramer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with thirty years of experience. She practices in Minnesota and lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and depression among the concerns she helps people with.
She frames sessions around respectful, attentive listening and straightforward conversation. Richelle adapts how she talks and plans next steps so they fit each person's situation. She aims to work at a pace people can manage rather than rush change.
Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means she helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, and then try small, practical changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to anchor attention and reduce overwhelm in the moment.
Richelle also uses solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and find realistic next steps. Those methods are aimed at short-term progress and building momentum toward concrete goals like managing panic, improving sleep, or handling parenting stress.
People who reach out can expect direct conversation about what is happening now, with work on specific skills and small experiments between sessions. Richelle notes experience with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, eating concerns, and caregiver stress. She works in English and practices from Minnesota, bringing three decades of clinical work to each case.
How her approaches translate to online work
Richelle often uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered work focuses on listening and shaping conversation around what matters most to the person, which can help someone who finds social situations stressful to talk about specific moments and feelings. CBT targets thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and experiments, useful for addressing panic, social anxiety, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help manage immediate anxiety symptoms by training attention on the breath or body. Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try different techniques, and choose what fits the person’s needs and preferences.
