Karisha RichardsLPC

Karisha Richards, LPC, focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, and pregnancy or childbirth related concerns. She writes in plain terms and works to identify patterns that keep someone stuck. Sessions emphasize practical steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild trust in oneself.

With 15 years of experience, Karisha helps people untangle beliefs and behaviors shaped by painful life events. She combines talk, questions that get to the root of an issue, and reflection to create clearer, healthier responses. Spirituality and a relationship with the Creator also inform her work when a client wishes to include that element.

Her style uses active listening, paraphrasing, and reflection so clients feel heard and understood. She offers tools between sessions such as handouts, short videos, and reading suggestions to reinforce learning. Prayer is offered in session for those who want it.

Therapeutic methods Karisha draws on include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Jungian ideas, and Mindfulness Therapy. She tailors these methods to the person’s goals rather than using a single approach.

Work in sessions often moves from identifying unhelpful patterns to practicing new habits. Clients set measurable goals across life areas like relationships, sleep, mood, and parenting. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals and experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said, and helps shape goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful for building trust, addressing self-esteem, and working through parenting or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can use worksheets, thought records, and short exercises between meetings to reduce anxiety, depressive moods, and sleep problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Skills training can be practiced in session and applied to stress, anger, and relationship challenges.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, preferences, and goals and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what the person prefers.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around busy days and the ability to use digital handouts and video resources between sessions. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are set per therapist. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into daily routines while still focusing on concrete skills and steady progress.
