Richelle Rojas-Basuil

Richelle Rojas-Basuil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with three years of direct therapy experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. Richelle also focuses on concerns like attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose. Before offering individual and group therapy, she spent time working with adolescents in school settings and in crisis intervention. That background shaped how she notices signs of distress and responds when someone feels overwhelmed. Sessions are informed by attention to trauma and practical steps toward daily functioning. Her style centers on listening closely and helping people identify short-term goals. She uses clear, conversational feedback and collaborative problem solving rather than technical language. For many clients this means working on communication problems, social anxiety, or coping skills for mood shifts. Richelle draws from several clinical methods to guide sessions, including client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. Those methods are used to help with thoughts, behaviors, motivation, and the stories people tell about themselves. People often come with issues like guilt, shame, isolation, or struggles after loss. She helps them break down what feels unmanageable into practical steps. The focus is on making small, measurable changes that fit the client’s daily life.

How Richelle Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood during sessions, and it’s useful for building motivation to try new behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses exercises to change patterns that keep someone stuck, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship stress.

Narrative therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate a person from their problems and can open up new ways to act and relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richelle collaborates with clients to test methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques as needed based on what helps most in real life.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals will discuss how to structure sessions to fit each person’s routine and goals.
