Richlyn Fletcher, LCSW

Richlyn Fletcher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience based in New York. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, addictions, and related concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions.

Fletcher draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and an attachment-informed outlook. She blends talk-based methods with creative expression such as music, movement, and art when that helps a person express difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and clearer thinking to manage strong emotions and recurring patterns.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in social work from Buffalo State College and a master’s degree in social work from Fordham University. Decades working in New York City exposed her to many cultures and belief systems, which informs how she adapts approaches to fit different life situations.

In therapy she helps people name their patterns, reduce reactivity, and try new ways of responding to stress and relationship strain. She uses motivational interviewing to support change and CBT to adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are taught as simple exercises for calming and focus.

Fletcher frames progress as practical steps rather than quick fixes. She invites clients to experiment with techniques and review what works. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
