Shemeah Richardson

Shemeah Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work on the person in front of her. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people name what they are facing. That practical, respectful approach helps when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

She brings 12 years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship friction, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Her background includes work with people who face adoption or foster care concerns, caregiver strain, and loneliness.

In sessions she draws on a few simple tools. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot patterns of thinking that increase distress. Narrative Therapy is used to look at the stories people tell themselves and consider other ways to understand them.

Shemeah approaches therapy as a collaboration. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on strengths. The goal is clearer thinking, more useful habits, and better ways to cope with stressful changes.

People who start therapy with her can expect straightforward conversation, practical steps, and steady support while they work toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online care that focus on practical change

Client-Centered Therapy is about following the client’s lead and honoring what they know about their life. It helps people who need someone to listen closely and reflect back what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing different, more helpful ways of responding; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages gentle attention to the present moment and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shemeah will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. Together they decide which techniques to keep, change, or stop so each session feels useful and practical.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and conversational techniques to work well during remote sessions, letting people practice new skills between meetings.
