About Karisha

Karisha Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, coping with life changes, or struggling with sleep and rest. She aims to help clients break unhelpful patterns and build healthier ways of thinking and living.

Karisha centers work around strong listening, clear questions, and practical tools. She brings together client-centered talk, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices. Prayer and spiritual reflection are part of her approach for clients who want that perspective.

Sessions often include active listening, paraphrasing, and reflective questions to uncover what feels stuck. She offers handouts, short videos, and reading suggestions between sessions to reinforce progress. The goal is steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.

Karisha pays attention to the whole person - emotions, relationships, daily routines, and patterns that affect sleep and energy. She helps clients set small, measurable goals and checks in on how those steps feel. Work may touch on trauma, addiction, parenting stress, body image, attachment concerns, and related issues.

Her practice is guided by a blend of clinical tools and spiritual values when the client requests that element. She encourages clear communication about goals and personal beliefs early on. Prospective clients can expect direct questions, practical tasks, and compassionate follow-up between sessions.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and values. The therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the client, helping people feel heard and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and daily habits. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and improve mood, sleep, and reactions to stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through mindfulness, distress tolerance, and clear communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques and tasks that match needs, and that plan can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also make it simple to continue work on sleep routines, coping skills, and practicing mindfulness between appointments.
