About Ramon
Ramon Reina is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship strains, and the changes that follow divorce. He also addresses parenting concerns, grief, and issues linked to family of origin.
Ramon uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. He draws on Reality Therapy and Choice Theory to help people look at the decisions they are making now. That approach centers on present choices rather than medical labels. He aims to help clients find practical steps they can try between meetings.
His background includes long experience helping people adjust to new situations and regain a sense of control. He has worked with concerns such as intimacy problems, addiction, anger, and self-esteem. He also supports people coping with career shifts, bipolar mood challenges, and other life changes.
Ramon speaks English and Spanish and offers counseling in both languages. He trained at the University of Minnesota with a Master of Social Work degree. His LICSW credential is issued by the Minnesota Board of Social Work.
In early sessions he focuses on clear goals and workable strategies. He can help someone identify patterns that trace back to family of origin and then try small, concrete changes. People who want direct, practical conversation about decisions often find this approach useful.
How Ramon uses his approaches in online work
Ramon commonly draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how closeness and expectations from early life affect present relationships. Client-Centered elements focus on the person's experience and priorities, helping them voice what matters most now.He also uses Solution-Focused and Psychodynamic elements when appropriate to identify practical next steps and to notice recurring patterns from the past. Solution-Focused work narrows in on small, achievable changes that can be tried quickly. Psychodynamic ideas help surface repeated patterns tied to family of origin so a person can make different choices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ramon collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting over time if something feels off.
