About Richelle
Richelle Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker - LICSW and LCSW licensed in Minnesota with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Her focus includes relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and career or life-change questions.
Richelle uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort priorities and next steps. Sessions focus on practical skills and short-term problem solving when that fits, and slower work on trauma or family history when needed. She draws on Client-Centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the client's perspective.
She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness-based tools are part of the approach when clients want techniques for reducing arousal and reacting less to stress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods support goal setting and small, doable changes.
Richelle has additional experience with adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and postpartum depression. She addresses multicultural concerns, guilt and shame, hoarding, and family of origin issues as they come up in sessions.
Her style is practical and task-oriented, with attention to daily life demands like work, parenting, finances, and health. People meet to talk through specific problems, set measurable goals, and plan steps they can try between sessions.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Richelle commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's concerns and goals. That means the conversation centers on what matters most to the person sitting across from her and on practical choices they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors; it fits problems like anxiety, panic, and depression where concrete skill practice can help.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richelle will discuss different methods and agree on a plan based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes revisiting the approach if something isn't working and choosing techniques that fit daily routines and responsibilities.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also permit using mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets during the session and planning practice between meetings to fit into everyday life.
