About Ramon
Ramon Reina is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 30 years of clinical experience. He holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Minnesota and works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and the effects of divorce.
Ramon focuses on straightforward, practical conversation. He uses Reality Therapy and Choice Theory ideas to help people identify the choices they can make now. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice patterns, weigh options, and take steps that feel doable in daily life.
Over three decades he has supported people through grief, addiction challenges, anger, and life transitions. He also attends to topics like fatherhood issues, blended family problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, and communication difficulties. Ramon includes attention to sexual orientation and related LGBT concerns in his work.
His approach draws on psychodynamic, attachment-based, solution-focused, and trauma-informed ideas when they fit the issue at hand. In practice this means blending clear problem-solving with attention to how past relationships shape current reactions. He helps people set short-term goals and track small changes.
Ramon speaks English and Spanish. He practices from Minnesota and does not take international clients. To begin, a visitor can use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Ramon draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. This approach can help when communication patterns, trust, or closeness are at issue and gives a language for recurring relationship reactions.He also uses Client-Centered principles to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns and priorities. That means listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and letting goals emerge from their own values.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ramon treats this as a collaborative process. He will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and adapt the plan as needs and priorities change.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule around work or parenting demands. Licensed professionals and therapists often use online options to keep appointments consistent when life is busy.
