Getting to know Clarene Richards

My name is Clarene L. Richards, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York with close to 25 years of experience. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. Throughout my career, I have provided various levels of care, including direct care, managed care, telehealth counseling, crisis intervention, assessments, evaluations, treatment, and discharge planning. My approach My clinical approaches include client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. My focus I have worked with a myriad of different clients, but I prefer working with adults. My communication style My counseling style is to work with my clients from a strength perspective, with an emphasis on using motivational interviewing techniques. I have provided crisis intervention and psychoeducation to address specific issues that jeopardize a client's functioning. While the needs are of utmost importance, it is equally important to acknowledge and recognize strengths. My journey to mental healthcare What attracted me to this career is empowerment—the desire to empower others who don’t see the value of self-empowerment. My goal is to empower clients to use helpful interventions that assist them in having fulfilling and happier lives. My goals for you I have worked with clients and provided therapeutic interventions aimed at improving functioning and alleviating symptoms associated with various diagnosed behavioral health disorders. Treatment is always tailored to provide assessment, intervention, support, empowerment, and termination. My first session with you I begin by meeting the client where he or she is and building a therapeutic relationship.
