About Krisha
Krisha Uden is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 27 years of experience and listens with care to whatever a person is facing. Krisha aims to help people find hope and purpose while they work through difficult emotions and life events.
She focuses on practical steps in therapy. Sessions often begin with identifying strengths and coping skills the person already uses. From there she works collaboratively to set clear goals and build a plan the person feels motivated to follow.
Background and approach
Krisha offers encouragement and steady support during that process. Her work has included independent practice and roles at a mental health center. She has led groups for people affected by domestic violence and grief, and provided parenting education.
These experiences shape a down-to-earth approach that values both insight and everyday problem solving. Krisha holds licenses as an Iowa Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner and a Nebraska Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She has used a mix of counseling methods such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to meet different needs.
Outside her clinical work she participates in church activities and values family life. She speaks from both professional and personal experience when helping people cope with major life changes and health challenges. Her style is calm, practical, and faith-aware for those who wish to include spiritual concerns.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and letting the person guide the conversation; online sessions using this approach prioritize what matters most to the client and validate their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which works well online because worksheets, thought records, and homework can be shared and reviewed during video or messaging sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and name feelings in the moment and improve connection; in a virtual setting this can mean guided conversations and experiments to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That way sessions stay focused and relevant to real-life needs.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and screen-sharing for work between sessions. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
