About Karisha
Karisha Richards welcomes people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, or life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to help clients find steadier ground. Karisha uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people change habits that no longer serve them.
Karisha is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 15 years of experience. She focuses on spotting unhelpful patterns and helping people replace them with healthier ways of thinking and acting.
How Karisha works
Sessions often include active listening, reflection, and practical exercises to try between meetings. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with attention to spiritual growth when clients want that. She may suggest reading, short videos, or worksheets to support work done in sessions.
Those materials are meant to extend progress between meetings and give concrete steps to practice. Karisha addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, anger, self-esteem, bipolar issues, ADHD, sleeping problems, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, body image concerns, and the stress of caregiving.
Therapeutic methods used include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices. Karisha strives to tailor these approaches to each person’s goals and life situation.

How Karisha’s Approaches Work Online
Karisha uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and building trust so people can find their own answers. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical, testable alternatives.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy techniques when people struggle with strong emotions or patterns that feel out of control. DBT offers skills for managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and handling distress without making situations worse. Karisha will discuss which approaches might fit best and tailor them to the person’s needs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She helps clients choose methods based on goals, daily routines, and what feels workable. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, brief updates, or ongoing homework and reflection between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
