Karisha Richards , LPC

Karisha Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship trouble, addiction, or life changes. Her style is direct and caring, aiming to untangle old patterns and build practical habits that improve day-to-day life.

Karisha draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centered methods to listen and respond to what matters most. She also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with realistic alternatives.

Spirituality and inner growth are part of her approach when clients want that focus. She explores how faith and meaning connect to healing while keeping the work practical. Sessions can include active listening, paraphrasing, reflection, guided mindfulness, and skill practice between meetings.

She often offers written handouts, short videos, and book suggestions to reinforce progress between meetings. Karisha addresses specific concerns such as trauma, attachment wounds, body image, parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, and attention difficulties. Her aim is to help people restore energy, trust, motivation, and a steadier sense of self.

Karisha practices in Texas as an LPC. She meets with people in English and uses a collaborative process to set clear goals and check progress over time.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; it offers step-by-step practices to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Karisha will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match your needs. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan and adds tools like mindfulness practice, worksheets, or short videos to reinforce progress between sessions.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging lets you fit care into a busy life. Video sessions are useful when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you want a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, skill practice, or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make counseling more flexible and easier to attend while preserving a collaborative therapeutic process.
