About Karisha

Karisha Richards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience who helps people rework long-standing patterns that interfere with daily life.

Background and approach

She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief, ADHD, addictions, and a broad range of related concerns such as attachment wounds, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Her work centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more realistic, sustainable ways of coping.

Richards integrates several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each client’s needs, drawing on client-centered techniques as well as cognitive and mindfulness-based practices. She emphasizes a whole-person perspective, addressing emotional, relational, and practical aspects of challenges to restore balance and improve functioning.

Clients may also receive practical materials between meetings, such as handouts and videos, to support progress outside sessions. Based in Texas, Richards offers a compassionate, goal-oriented approach that blends active listening, reflective feedback, and skills training.

Her practice aims to help people create clearer goals, build healthier patterns, and move forward after difficult life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Karisha frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness-based methods are woven into sessions to improve present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works together with each client to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so care stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into a busy life or connect from different locations within Texas. These formats support consistent work on skills, allow for timely check-ins, and enable therapists and clients to use worksheets, handouts, and short exercises between meetings to reinforce learning and maintain momentum.
