More about Riley

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello there! I am a clinical social worker licensed in New Mexico, Florida and Utah. I have been working in social work since 2013 and practicing in therapy since 2017. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns to include schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual assault and eating disorders.

My therapy style is warm and interactive as well as honest and straight forward. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and motivational interviewing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I only had one session, but it was the most insightful therapy I’ve ever had - she is very skilled at asking the right questions

After years of trying riley was finally a therapist I could relate with. She makes it so comfortable that its almost like having a best friend as a therapist.

Reviewed November 2022

I was in therapy before but never taken seriously. Riley off the bat asks what I need to talk about every week and takes each target in session seriously. She’s gone above and beyond with always responding outside of live chats and checking up if it’s been a while without session. She even is helping me research alternative therapies for my situation which is more than I could’ve ever expected.

Reviewed September 2022

Riley is just a great human being, plain and simple - I can tell after only a few sessions of speaking. She's already helped me realize some much-needed context and connections from my upbringing to my current self, which I haven't found from any therapist I've spoken to before her. She's personable, she's eager to help, she mirrors the tone/style of her clients, she makes me/them feel heard with no judgement, etc. I just wanted to say, thank you so much.
