About Karisha
Karisha Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for parents who are exhausted, anxious, or facing big changes. Her style is straightforward and faith-informed, and she aims to help people feel steadier and more in control at home.
Karisha draws on client-centered care to listen deeply and help parents name what matters most. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical strategies and mindfulness exercises are offered to reduce reactivity and build calm in daily life. Sessions include active listening, gentle reflection, and collaborative goal planning. She sometimes suggests short handouts, videos, and reading between sessions to keep progress moving.
Prayer and spiritual reflection are offered when a client wants that kind of support. Karisha emphasizes a holistic look at life - sleep, relationships, work, and spiritual well-being all matter. She helps people sort through attachment issues, grief, codependency, and parenting stress so they can change long-standing patterns.
Her approach is patient and practical, aimed at small shifts that add up. Based in Texas, Karisha works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions. She frames therapy as a process of discovery and steady practice to rebuild trust, energy, and self-esteem.

Approach, faith and practical online care
Karisha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts that fuel stress and then try small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and parenting challenges.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style skills can help reduce reactive anger and improve day-to-day calm. Client-centered therapy is part of her practice too, meaning sessions start with listening and building goals together before choosing tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karisha will collaborate with each person to pick the methods that fit their goals, values, and rhythms. That means mixing listening, CBT exercises, DBT skills, mindfulness practices, and spiritual reflection when desired.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or between-session coaching. These options make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into busy family routines.
