Richelle Rojas-Basuil

Richelle Rojas-Basuil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. She has three years of experience providing individual and group therapy and a broader seven-year background working with adolescents in school settings. She keeps sessions nonjudgmental and grounded in practical support. She began her work in schools, helping teens who faced anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and trauma. That earlier experience informs how she listens now. She pays attention to each person's story and current needs rather than assuming one path fits everyone. Her style is trauma-informed and person-focused. She aims to meet people where they are and learn their goals for therapy. In sessions she helps people talk through stress, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem, and life changes. Richelle uses straightforward techniques from approaches such as client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people notice patterns, reframe difficult stories, and take small steps toward change. She supports people facing issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image concerns, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. She also helps those coping with post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, self-harm thoughts, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and take place in California.

How Richelle uses therapy tools online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to set goals and chart progress. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Richelle uses simple CBT strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and finding personal motivation.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. If something is not working, she adjusts the plan with the client's input so the work fits their life and aims.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only meetings if they prefer less bandwidth or need a simpler setup. Ask about specific session arrangements when you schedule.
