About Richelle
Richelle Kramer is a licensed social worker with three decades of clinical experience who practices in Minnesota.
Background and approach
She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings long-term professional experience to work with concerns such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction, and career or life transitions.
Richelle also addresses a broad range of additional focus areas including adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, domestic violence, panic disorder, postpartum depression, and multicultural concerns.
Her approach centers on adapting treatment to each person’s circumstances and strengths, combining client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies as appropriate. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while collaborating with clients to set practical goals and develop skills for coping and growth.
Richelle frames therapy as a process of support and empowerment, helping people take the steps toward greater well-being while tailoring dialogue and plans to individual needs.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and offering empathic support so clients feel heard and respected; it helps with building insight and self-directed change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance strategies that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with chronic stress and emotional pain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time to suit what is most helpful for each person.
Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and practice skills between meetings while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
