About Richlyn
Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She practices in New York and uses an attachment-informed perspective to understand how past relationships shape present patterns. Richlyn keeps sessions practical and clear, focusing on skills people can use between meetings.
She blends Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered care to make space for each person's story.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. Motivational interviewing supports people who are feeling stuck or unsure about change. Richlyn often brings creative tools into the work.
Music, movement, and art are used when they help someone express feelings that are hard to put into words. These methods are chosen to fit the person, not applied for their own sake. Her approach pays attention to life events and losses that affect mood and connection.
She helps people manage grief, caregiver stress, abandonment worries, and disruptions linked to medical or traumatic events. Practical skills for sleep, anger, and day-to-day coping are part of most plans. Throughout therapy she aims to build a steady working relationship.
Together the person and Richlyn set small goals that match values and daily life. Sessions emphasize simple, realistic steps toward feeling more balanced and connected.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Richlyn uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. That approach helps when past hurts affect trust, closeness, or emotional regulation. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that worsen mood and to practice new, more helpful responses.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to what matters to the person, tries methods that fit their goals, and adjusts plans as progress is seen. Together they choose techniques that match the person's needs and day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video makes it possible to maintain eye contact and read body language. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter touchpoints, journaling between meetings, and ongoing reminders of new skills. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional connection.
