About Karisha
Karisha Richards welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She aims to help people spot the patterns that keep them stuck and try different choices that feel healthier.
Karisha focuses on practical changes in thought and behavior. She listens actively, reflects what she hears, and asks questions that uncover the meaning behind a problem.
Background and approach
Sessions may include simple skills practice, gentle reflection, and tools to manage strong emotions more effectively. Her background blends clinical methods with spiritual concerns. She may draw on faith-based language when clients want that element included.
When spiritual guidance is used it’s offered alongside psychological techniques rather than in place of them. Homework and resources are part of the work. Karisha often provides handouts, short videos, and reading suggestions to review between sessions.
These materials are chosen to reinforce skills and prompt new ways of thinking. People who come for help around stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, or grief find she focuses on concrete steps. She also supports those dealing with addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and body image or eating-related issues.
The aim is steady progress through clearer choices and manageable practices.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist creates space for clients to tell their story, identify their needs, and set goals. This approach helps when people need understanding and clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and coping with life changes because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulse-related concerns like some addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face to face when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice, or days when a written check-in is easier to fit into a schedule. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and use therapy in real life.
