Ramon Reina, LICSW - Therapist in Minnesota

About Ramon

Ramon Reina is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Minnesota. He brings 30 years of clinical experience to his practice in Minnesota. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people facing a range of life stresses and emotional struggles.

Ramon focuses on practical, real-world concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and parenting. He also addresses grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and issues around self-esteem and career.

Background and approach

His practice includes attention to LGBT concerns, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. His background includes long experience helping families through divorce and blended family adjustments, and supporting people with attachment or abandonment wounds. Ramon also works with first responder issues, fatherhood matters, body image, and communication or commitment problems.

He uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. In sessions he favors straightforward, solution-oriented conversation that helps clients name problems and try practical steps. He draws on attachment-based ideas to understand close relationships and on psychodynamic ways of looking at recurring patterns.

Trauma-focused techniques are used when past hurts interfere with daily life. Ramon describes a personable, empathic style aimed at making therapy easier to begin. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

To start, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and trust others. It helps when relationship patterns, closeness, or separation cause ongoing distress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for building self-worth and making choices that fit personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ramon will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and collaboratively decide which methods to try. He adapts the plan over time based on what is helpful and what the client prefers.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to connect from home, juggle parenting and work demands, and follow up between appointments when short check-ins are helpful.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
