About Karisha
Karisha Richards is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and anger. Sessions address everyday problems like sleep disruption, low self-esteem, career concerns, and attention issues as well.
Richards helps people name the thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She uses straightforward conversation, active listening, and reflection to identify unhelpful beliefs tied to past experiences. Practical tools and homework are commonly part of the work.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques. Mindfulness practices and Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols are also woven into sessions when relevant. She says spiritual life and relationship with the Creator inform some clients' goals, and she brings that element into therapy when clients want it.
Sessions often include skill building for emotion regulation, communication, and coping with triggers. Richards may offer handouts, short videos, and reading suggestions between meetings to reinforce what was discussed. Prayer is listed among the options she may use in session for clients who request it.
Her background emphasizes assessment of multiple life areas - mental, physical, relational, and vocational - then setting concrete goals to move forward. People wanting practical steps to manage anger, stress, or grief will find the work focused on changing daily patterns and restoring energy and motivation.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit into online work
Client-centered work focuses on the person in the room. It begins by listening and building a clear sense of what matters to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a direct, respectful place to sort out anger, grief, or relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches tools to name unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills. DBT tools can be practical when reactions escalate at work or at home. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try interventions together. That includes deciding how much CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or Jungian reflection fits the situation. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example scheduling short check-ins around work or avoiding travel time. Confirm the available session formats and scheduling details when you book so the plan matches your day-to-day needs.Areas of focus
