About Karisha
Karisha Richards is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She describes her work as helping people notice and change unhelpful beliefs and behaviors that began after difficult life events. She asks questions to uncover the meaning behind a person's struggles and what might need to change. Sessions can include listening, paraphrasing, reflection, and spiritual elements when clients want that perspective.
Her approach combines practical therapy methods with attention to inner resources. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, and mindfulness practices to build awareness. Jungian ideas and faith-based perspectives may be included if they fit the client's goals.
Between sessions she provides handouts, short videos, and reading suggestions to support practice and reflection. She aims to help people replace unhealthy patterns with more realistic ways of thinking and acting. The work often centers on clear goals and concrete steps to try between meetings.
Karisha practices in Texas and conducts work in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.
How her approaches are used in online work
Karisha combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and mindfulness practices in plain, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new responses. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practice teaches brief attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up in daily life. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method from the start.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by avoiding travel and making it easier to use short check-ins or evening slots. It also supports returning to skills between sessions with handouts, videos, and reading material she provides for practical practice.
