Richelle Rojas-Basuil, LCSW

Richelle Rojas-Basuil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 3 years providing individual and group therapy. She has earlier professional experience working with adolescents in school settings and has worked in crisis intervention and with at-risk youth. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life changes.

Richelle uses practical, person-centered methods in sessions. She listens without judgment and works from a trauma-informed stance. Sessions focus on what the client wants to accomplish and on clear steps toward those goals.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful, as well as client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. That mix lets her notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, build motivation for change, and look at the stories people tell about themselves.

In a typical meeting she talks through immediate concerns, identifies manageable next steps, and checks in about how strategies are working. For someone feeling stuck from loss, anxiety, or relationship strain, sessions may include thought work, behavioral experiments, or ways to shift patterns that cause distress.

Richelle aims to work collaboratively to define goals and measure progress. She invites clients to share their hopes for therapy and to adjust the plan as needed. Her background in school and crisis settings informs a straightforward, action-focused style that centers the client's priorities.
