About Richelle

Richelle Rojas-Basuil is a licensed clinical social worker in California who brings focused, practical support to people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She has three years of experience providing individual and group therapy and a longer background working with adolescents in school settings. Richelle keeps sessions nonjudgmental and grounded in real concerns people bring day to day.

She uses a trauma-aware stance and listens for what matters most to each person. Richelle helps people set clear goals and breaks them into small, manageable steps. Conversations are centered on the client’s experience and practical strategies they can try between sessions.

Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy support change by clarifying values and reworking the stories people tell about themselves.

Richelle often addresses issues tied to attachment, abandonment, body image, and caregiver stress. She also supports people coping with grief, mood changes, self-harm thoughts, and struggles with social anxiety or feeling isolated.

People who prefer a calm, straightforward approach tend to do well with her. She invites clients to name their hopes for therapy and works together on steps toward those goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Richelle combines practical methods aimed at change with a listening-first attitude. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can name their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Richelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That might mean starting with a listening-focused Client-Centered approach and then adding CBT exercises or motivational techniques as goals become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session delivery formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try therapeutic tools in the context of their everyday routine while still working with a licensed professional to refine what helps most.
