About Krisha
Krisha Uden is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She brings 27 years of counseling experience and listens with empathy to each person's story. Krisha works to identify strengths that clients already use and to build on those skills in everyday life.
Her approach is collaborative and plainspoken. She helps people set clear goals and creates a plan that fits their motivation and needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, communication skills, emotion understanding, and problem solving. Krisha uses techniques drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. Krisha has provided counseling in independent practice and in community mental health settings.
She has led parenting training and group programs, including work related to domestic violence and grief for military-related losses. These varied roles shaped her familiarity with many common family and personal stressors. She holds licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner.
Her licensure has supported both in-person and online work in Nebraska. Krisha describes faith as an important personal resource and brings a respectful, values-aware stance to conversations when clients wish to include it. Outside of practice she enjoys crafts, outdoor activities, and time with her family.
She aims to offer steady encouragement and practical help to people making changes in their lives.
How Krisha’s Approaches Fit Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead to build trust and self-direction; it is useful when people need space to make sense of emotions and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical ways to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift the emotional responses that drive relationship conflict and intimacy struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Krisha works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. These options let people fit support into busy lives, follow up between meetings, and continue therapy from home or while traveling, depending on the session format they prefer.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
