Thank you for inquiring as to what I can offer in your quest for a professional therapist. My name is Richlyn Fletcher, and I have served in the helping profession as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for 29 years. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from Buffalo State College in Social Work and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in New York City. Working in New York City has allowed me to serve clients from various ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and belief systems. Therefore, my approach is holistic in nature, and I incorporate music, movement, art, etc. when appropriate to help with expression and to create change in the healing process. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness therapy, and individual strengths as techniques to help you reach your goals. Help is available to improve coping skills and work towards healing from depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, post-traumatic stress, and numerous other mental health diagnoses and physical illnesses. This includes individuals, couples, and families. I am available and willing to receive you, develop a working relationship, and treat you as the unique individual you are. As we work together, we will find the best and most adequate way to help you reach your desired goals towards wholeness, however that may look to you. Welcome to the BetterHelp community!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Richlyn Fletcher. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Richlyn is awesome! We've worked together for quite a while now. She always finds a way to give me new perspective or insight which allows me to ask myself the right questions. When I go on a rant she listens attentively and somehow recaps it all and imparts words of wisdom that often leave me speechless (in the best way). In times of great stress she has reached out to me outside of scheduled sessions through the app to check-in - which is a testament to how much she is willing to help

Richlyn has been an amazing support system for me. She is always encouraging and works hard to create a safe space for me to be open and honest about everything and anything judgement free. I wouldn’t change anything about her methods and the person that she is for me.

Thanks Rich. We will be traveling mid Sept to HI with a couple who does not drink, so this will be a good test. Things are looking better but I’ve thought that before. Annie will detox…she knows. Tom

Richlyn has helped me even in our first session. I didn’t know how effective therapy with the RIGHT person would be, but it has exceeded my expectations. It’s difficult to go through, but Richlyn is very kind and understanding. She lets me be myself, and already gives off the vibe that she accepts you for who you are and is just willing to help you get better. And honestly, with how much I pay a month for Better Help I’m getting great value with her as my therapist. Trust me, I hate spending money but she makes every cent worth it. What I thought would be a couple months ordeal, I realize that I need more time to heal. I am perfectly fine going on this journey to better myself with the help of Richlyn.

Richlyn is everything you could hope for in a therapist. She's a good friend who lets you vent, but also an objective eye when you need a direction. I'm very grateful for all the support she has given me!
