About Shemeah

Shemeah Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a client-centered approach to work with people navigating trauma, grief, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She emphasizes the client as expert in their own life, building on existing strengths to address difficult emotions and patterns.

Background and approach

Her practice integrates talk-based exploration with practical strategies to manage stress, impulsivity, and self-esteem concerns. With 12 years of professional experience and licensure in Colorado, Shemeah draws from multiple evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques.

She also has experience addressing family of origin issues, parenting and caregiver stress, gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns, abandonment and adoption-related wounds, and problems related to isolation or complicated grief. Shemeah aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and collaborative, meeting clients where they are and supporting progress at a pace that fits their goals.

Integrating evidence-based approaches through online care

Shemeah uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides exploration and goal-setting; this approach supports people who want to make meaning of their experiences and build on their strengths. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and difficulties with impulsivity.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. Shemeah assesses a client's needs, preferences, and goals and blends approaches as appropriate so work feels tailored and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These formats can make it easier to access consistent care across busy lifestyles and allow therapists to adapt interventions like CBT techniques and mindfulness exercises to fit the way a client prefers to engage.
