About Karishma

Karishma Workmon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. She has eight years of experience and approaches sessions with a warm, conversational style. Her work also addresses parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.

Karishma often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered techniques to tailor each session to the individual. She focuses on practical skills and clearer thinking to reduce symptoms and help people manage day-to-day pressures.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused rather than one-directional. Her practice pays attention to issues that commonly follow trauma, such as panic, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, caregiver stress, control issues, and struggles specific to young adults and women.

Conversations include identifying patterns and trying new ways of responding. Karishma emphasizes building coping tools and concrete strategies that fit a person’s life. She balances listening with skill-building so clients leave a session with something to try between meetings.

The pace and techniques are adjusted based on each person’s goals and preferences. If someone has been holding on to the role of the caregiver or ‘‘strong one,’’ she creates space to talk about that pressure and to explore realistic changes. Her aim is for people to feel heard and better able to handle what comes next.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Karishma draws from client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist listens closely to understand what matters most. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, panic, and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as needs change. That means sessions can blend talking, skill practice, and short exercises tailored to what is useful in daily life.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day, or remove travel time so someone can use a break at work. Many people find these practical benefits help them stay consistent with treatment while working toward clearer thinking and better coping skills.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
