Ramon Reina

Ramon Reina is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master of Social Work from the University of Minnesota and more than 30 years of practice. He focuses on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship problems. He also addresses grief, parenting strains, addictions, anger, and career or life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are based in Minnesota.

Ramon aims to make the first steps into therapy less intimidating. He uses a warm, straightforward style and tries to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels stuck. His practice draws on Reality Therapy and Choice Theory to help clients identify directions they want to take.

Over three decades Ramon has worked with a wide range of concerns, including family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and the fallout from divorce and separation. He also helps people dealing with body image, commitment and communication problems, and the challenges some first responders face.

His approach blends client-centered listening with psychodynamic ideas about how past patterns shape current behavior. He also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and trauma-focused methods when trauma and abuse are part of the picture. The result is practical work aimed at small, achievable changes.

Ramon asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to his availability and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Ramon’s approaches translate to online therapy

Ramon uses Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered work, and Solution-Focused techniques in straightforward ways. Attachment-Based approaches look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people notice and change repeating behaviors. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person's pace so they feel understood. Solution-Focused methods set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ramon will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest approaches that fit. The plan can change as progress is made, and he aims for a collaborative process where the client helps steer the direction of therapy.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. When arranged, online appointments can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling across different days and times simpler for people juggling work, family, or other commitments.
