About Richelle
Richelle Kramer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of professional experience working in Minnesota. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression, among other life difficulties. Richelle lists guilt and shame among her additional focus areas and includes coaching and addictions in her practice scope.
Her style emphasizes respectful, sensitive conversation. Sessions are shaped around practical goals and the concerns a person brings. Richelle adjusts discussion and planning to the needs expressed in the room rather than imposing a single method.
She commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's own priorities central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns. Mindfulness-based approaches and Solution-Focused techniques are also used when they fit the situation.
Many people consult her about relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, self-esteem, and career transitions. She also addresses adoption and foster care issues, aging and caregiver stress, chronic pain and medical challenges, and postpartum depression.
Richelle works with multicultural concerns and with people from LGBT communities. She also sees clients dealing with domestic violence, hoarding, intellectual disability needs, and panic attacks. Her approach aims to be practical and straightforward, helping people talk through what matters and create manageable steps forward.
How Richelle’s approaches translate to online work
Richelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach involves open listening and shaping sessions around the client’s goals and values. It is useful for adapting work on guilt, shame, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent method she draws on. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and testing practical changes. It can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and habit-driven problems like aspects of addiction or eating concerns.
Mindfulness techniques are used at times to help people notice difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed. These practices can support work on trauma-related reactions, stress, and ongoing self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Richelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
