She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, prioritizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients can explore feelings and goals at their own pace. These approaches are presented in accessible language and emphasize skill-building and self-understanding.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Richelle works with each person to consider their needs, values, and goals, and together they tailor methods and exercises that fit the client's preferences and stage of change. She frames treatment as a partnership where adjustments are made based on what is working and what is not.
