About Richelle
Richelle Rojas-Basuil is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She brings three years of experience providing individual and group therapy and a longer background working in school settings with adolescents. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters to them now.
Richelle focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and mood disorders.
How Richelle works
Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and social anxiety. Her style is trauma-informed and person-centered. Sessions emphasize listening first, then helping people set practical goals.
She uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and motivational interviewing to address thoughts, behaviors, and motivation. Richelle also draws on narrative therapy to help people reframe personal stories and find new meaning after loss or difficult experiences. She has experience in crisis intervention and working with young people in schools, which informs a practical, down-to-earth approach.
People who want clear steps, gentle challenge, and an emphasis on strengths may find her style helpful. She works in English and sees clients through online formats in California. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match people to a time that fits their needs.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist gives space for someone to tell their story and helps clarify goals and values. It is useful for people who want acceptance and support while deciding next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns. Online CBT often uses short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Richelle treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what is helpful. Finding the best fit is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone work can fit into a break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief, written check-ins when that format feels better. These options make it easier to meet regularly and keep progress moving forward.
