About Karisha
Karisha Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, addiction concerns, trauma and related issues. She also helps people wrestling with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and the practical fallout of life changes.
Her work focuses on spotting the unhelpful beliefs and behaviors that grew out of hard experiences. She helps people name those patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting. Sessions include listening and reflection, direct questions, and practical tools to shift daily habits.
Spiritual concerns are part of her practice. She describes integrating a relationship with the Creator and Biblical guidance when clients want that included. She says this is framed around inner growth rather than any religious agenda.
In session she may use active listening, paraphrasing, reflecting, and guided prayer when requested. She also uses handouts, videos, and reading suggestions between visits to support ongoing work. Specific therapeutic approaches she draws on include client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior methods, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices.
Her stated aim is to help people restore energy, trust, motivation, and balance across life roles. Prospective clients should note she practices in Texas and runs sessions in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Karisha often uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques in her practice. Client-centered work means the therapist focuses on listening, reflecting, and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs straightforward support and clearer thinking about personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stresses.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions, setting boundaries, and improving communication. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on concerns, goals, and how the client prefers to work.
The original profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow a quieter check-in during work breaks. Some approaches translate well to brief skills practice or video sessions, while others use worksheets and suggested readings between meetings to reinforce progress.
