About Shemeah
Shemeah Richardson is a licensed professional counselor who builds therapy around each person's strengths. She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people make sense of hard moments. Shemeah encourages small, practical steps so change feels possible and manageable.
She has 12 years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Colorado. She has supported people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and common parenting and family concerns.
Background and approach
Her work also includes areas like ADHD, self-esteem, anger, and LGBT issues. Her style centers on the client, meaning sessions start with what the person brings and move at a useful pace. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Narrative and mindfulness tools help people reframe stories about themselves and calm intense feelings. Shemeah listens for patterns from family of origin, abandonment, or caregiver stress that affect daily life. She offers practical ways to improve communication, manage impulsivity, and cope with loss or guilt.
She also addresses aging and adoption-related questions when they arise. When someone reaches out, she focuses on clear goals and steps. She explains options and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs.
Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your life
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals and values first; the therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the individual. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to build steps that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it gives concrete tools to test new ways of thinking and acting.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods. That collaborative process means approaches can shift over time as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving duties and keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use different formats to practice CBT skills, guide mindfulness exercises, or hold narrative conversations, so therapy can continue even when getting to an office is hard.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
