About Karisha

Karisha Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 15 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, depression, addictions, grief, and parenting strain. She also addresses issues like anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Karisha aims to help people spot the patterns that keep causing pain. She asks clear questions to find what underlies a problem and what needs to change. Sessions may include active listening, reflecting, paraphrasing, and spiritual practices the client wishes to include.

Her work blends a whole-person view with practical tools. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Jungian ideas, Client-Centered methods, and Mindfulness. Between sessions she may suggest handouts, short videos, or books to extend learning and awareness.

Karisha describes spiritual growth and relationship with the Creator as part of healing when clients want that focus. She says this is about inner growth rather than a specific religious requirement. Her goal is to help clients restore energy, motivation, trust, and self-regard while reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life.

She practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential. People who want a blend of practical coping skills and reflective, faith-informed conversation may find her style useful.

How Karisha’s approaches guide online therapy

Karisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems where thinking patterns affect mood and action.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills are often helpful for strong emotions, impulsive behavior, and improving relationships. Mindfulness-based practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress, sleep, and coping with change.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods and tools over time rather than sticking rigidly to a single model.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also share worksheets, handouts, and short videos between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
