Ramon Reina

Ramon Reina is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota with more than 30 years of practice. He earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Minnesota and brings long experience helping people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and major life changes.

He works in a personable, down-to-earth way. Sessions focus on practical choices and clear steps people can try between visits. Ramon emphasizes collaboration and helps clients find what fits their daily life rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.

Many people come to him for help with grief, divorce and separation, or family-of-origin concerns. He also supports those dealing with anger, addiction, body image, and questions around intimacy or sexual orientation. His practice includes work on attachment and abandonment concerns as well as issues related to autism and first responder stress.

Ramon combines several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relational patterns, client-centered work to follow the client's priorities, psychodynamic thinking to consider past influences, and solution-focused and trauma-focused methods for short-term goals.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People interested in beginning work are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Ramon’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Attachment-based work looks at recurring relationship patterns and how earlier bonds influence current connections; it helps when trust, closeness, or abandonment concerns are central. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pacing, letting the client lead the topics and timing of change. Solution-focused methods aim for concrete, short-term steps that can be tried between sessions to test what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ramon will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods best fits their goals, concerns, and day-to-day reality. That collaborative planning can change as work proceeds and new issues come up.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people connect from different locations within the same state. Ask about session length, whether video or audio is offered, and how scheduling is handled to pick what suits everyday life.
