Background and approach
Richelle draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from painful stories. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want support finding the motivation to change.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Richelle uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How Richelle’s Approaches Work Online
Richelle uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the stories that cause pain. This approach looks at the stories people tell about their lives and opens space to rewrite those narratives so they feel less limiting.She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the person’s lead and pace. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they name goals and priorities.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Richelle will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice can change over time as goals shift and new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let conversations feel closer to an in-person meeting, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, on-the-go support and make it easier to share thoughts between full sessions. These formats allow therapy to fit into work breaks, caregiving routines, or days when getting out is hard.
