More about Rell
- 40 years' experience
- Male
- LMSW
I have had two careers which run concurrently: many years as a parish pastor and at the same time a mental health counselor. I am strongly invested in the LGBTQ issues because of my transgender grandson's amazing journey. As a hospice chaplain, I have provided bereavement support counseling to families. As a divorce mediator employing dispute management skills, I have guided couples in making parenting decisions that are in the best interests of their children. My passion is not to be a sage on the stage but a guide by the side with individuals and couples seeking solutions that are practical. I have expertise in cognitive -behavioral counseling, rational emotive psychotherapy, anger management (especially with men who abuse), and Life Work Planning and Career Development. I have modest experience with Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and Healing Story Telling. I endeavor to blend theory and practice, while affirming growth and risk-taking. I am a non-judgmental listener. I employ humor and unconditional support routinely to neutralize resistance to change. I am old fashioned person who still believes in unconditional positive regard and seeking a truth that sets people free.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

My session was great as well as the communication, I’m highly satisfied!
Rell is a model therapist: empathetic, lucid, and inspiring. I have total confidence in his ability to help me navigate challenging situations and find my own balance. Rell also knows how to offer guidance for the present moment while thinking about long-term goals. I can't think of a better person and professional.
Rell is extremely open minded, understanding and non-judgemental therapist. I feel like I can tell him anything. He has a positive outlook and always seems to find the joy in life, his jovial spirit is contagious. He has a unique approach to therapy and uses stories to share lessons and to make you think. I've really appreciated his support while going through a tough transition in life, he was able to see things clearer than I could myself. He supported me through the entire process, I'm very grateful to have found Rell!
Rell is this rare person who brings both lucidity and deep empathy to all interactions. He knows how to lift you up without sugar-coating challenges. He truly listens, embraces you as a full human being, and opens up all the hidden reserves of strength inside of you. He is an extraordinary human and therapist. I hope many others experience the blessing of working with him.
Rell is amazing. I’ve been seeing him since April 2023 in the midst of significant trauma. From the first minutes of our first session, I felt comfortable and safe and would be able to get the therapy I needed. He brings with him compassion, expertise and wisdom. I’m so grateful for Rell!
Very knowledgeable. Compassionate and EXPERIENCED. Qualities I am grateful for.
Rell is a gem. He listens with care, offers sound guidance, and brings generosity to all interactions. He knows how to be both direct and gentle. Talking with him feels like talking with a trusted friend who always has your back. He has helped me handle some very difficult situations, and in the process given me the tools to face others.
Rell is like my grandfather which is a comfort considering mine passed at the end of 2020 he’s very wise and a great listener and leaves you with a pep in your step
Rell is amazing. He’s helped me immensely. He’s encouraging, easy to talk to and insightful. I actually look forward to my sessions with him and always leave feeling motivated and good about myself self and the path I’m on.
Rell is a great listener and he will really assess your problems in a most understandable way. I am glad he’s my therapist.
Very thoughtful and understanding therapist. Gave a lot of insight and encouragement to my situation.
He’s a great man, he makes me feel very comfortable with what I’m working through. He has such great insight on so many things I’m glad to have him help me figure myself out! I always look forward to our next conversation, have serious conversation along with many laughs to keep things real.. All in all Rell is the man!
Rell has volumes of experience that will help you. Sometimes he boils down incredibly useful, sage advice on overcoming obstacles into a simple one sentence phrase. I call these phrases Rell-isms. Rell is a healing treat during my week.
I really appreciate Rell! He keeps me grounded when I tend to overthink and be anxious. I really like hearing his wisdom and life experiences. I learn so much from Rell
Kind, thoughtful, encouraging, sensible
Rell is the best! He gives the best advice! He makes me feel very understood.
Rell Spickerman is a genuine man and a great therapist. His experience in life is what makes him very insightful, understanding, patient, and willing to lovingly confront. He helped me accept several things I needed to accept, deal with , and forgive others for. Now on a new path of growth, I'm very grateful he was my therapist.
I love Rell, he is so open and honest bringing real life situations from his own accounts into your own personal issues. He gives clear examples and visionary ideas to help with your situation making sure you’re not only heard but understood and have an idea of what to do to if you find you’re either losing your sense of self, or are becoming too indulged in your thoughts.
He has amazing listening skills and very helpful life advice. Rell has told me what I need to hear and has been very supportive and encouraging.
Rell has helped me see past my overthinking and has helped with me with my anxiety. I’m really grateful for the help he’s given and still will continue as it’s been improving life for me
Very promising!!!
One of the best!
Sometimes it's the patient listening without judgment that people needs the most. I think that's what he's good at because that's sometimes how the healing and the opening up starts. I appreciate that a lot.
I like to talk to Rell because he is a good listener but also gives very good advice and he is funny and not so serious, like talking to an old friend!
As a first timer to therapy I was so lucky to have been placed with Rell. He helped me navigate a very tricky family dynamic with warmth, humor and wisdom. Eternally grateful.
Very understanding empathic and provides helpful suggestions
Rell is a great guy
Rell has been wonderful to speak with. During my hardest trials, he has been by my side and provided tools to prevent my current struggles to occur in the future. He is kind, understanding, and informative. I'm thankful to have Rell in my life, he is helping me be a better me.
