About Karisha
Karisha Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, family issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She focuses on helping people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that developed after difficult experiences. Sessions often involve asking direct questions to uncover what keeps a problem going and what needs to be let go. She discusses spiritual themes when clients want that element included, and she references faith and a relationship with the Creator as part of that work.
Her clinical style uses active listening, paraphrasing, and reflection. She also integrates practical tools between sessions, such as handouts, videos, and books, to reinforce skills and awareness. Mindfulness practices and stress reduction techniques are among the skills offered to manage symptoms day to day.
Cognitive and behavioral strategies are applied to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas are used to build emotional regulation and interpersonal skills. Jungian ideas may be drawn on to discuss meaning and personal narratives when relevant.
Karisha describes her approach as faith-informed while still rooted in clinical methods. People who prefer a blend of practical exercises and spiritual reflection may find this way of working fits their concerns about blended family issues, attachment wounds, abandonment, or codependency.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy starts by listening to each person's concerns and prioritizing what matters most to them. This approach supports people who need space to talk through loyalty conflicts, grief, or parenting frustrations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and dealing with recurring patterns after trauma or abandonment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches specific skills for regulating emotions and improving communication under stress, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and codependency.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can shift over time if different tools appear more useful for a client's changing needs.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, join remotely when travel would interrupt in-person care, or use quieter surroundings that reduce interruptions. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt CBT worksheets, DBT skills coaching, and mindfulness exercises to work well in remote sessions, so clients can practice between meetings and track progress over time.
