About Karisha
Karisha Richards is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Karisha helps people notice patterns that came from hard experiences and then test new, healthier ways of thinking and behaving. She draws on Christian faith and spiritual themes for clients who want that element in therapy, using questions that aim to uncover what needs to change to restore energy, motivation, trust, and self-regard. She uses listening, paraphrasing, reflecting, and sometimes prayer during sessions when clients find that helpful.
Her work also includes practical tools between sessions. Clients may receive handouts, suggested readings, or short videos to review. These resources are meant to prompt reflection and practice outside of appointments.
Clinically, Karisha uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, Jungian perspectives, and a client-centered stance to guide sessions. She looks at many life areas to set goals that feel manageable and relevant.
Her approach fits people who want a blend of faith-informed conversation and evidence-based strategies. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking if they need a specific format.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Karisha incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that are practical and skills focused. CBT helps people examine unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments to see what changes. DBT provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and stabilizing relationships.She also uses mindfulness practices to help slow down reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness exercises can be short and integrated into daily routines to help with sleep, anxiety, and concentration. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as progress is reviewed.
