About Shemeah
Shemeah Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a person-centered approach to help people navigate anxiety and other life stresses. She focuses on listening, understanding each person’s story, and building practical steps forward. Shemeah speaks plain language and keeps sessions direct and focused on what matters most to the client.
She brings 12 years of experience working with people facing trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety. She also helps with relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and challenges tied to identity and gender dysphoria.
Background and approach
Her work includes supporting people managing ADHD symptoms and coping with major life changes. Shemeah draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create a trusting space. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and try small behavior changes.
Mindfulness techniques are mixed in to help clients notice difficult feelings without reacting to them. Narrative therapy is part of her toolbox for people who want to reframe painful stories or make sense of past events. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is ambivalent about change and needs clear, gentle encouragement to move forward.
She practices in Colorado and offers sessions in English. People can expect respectful, down-to-earth guidance along with practical tools that fit daily life.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns, so online sessions center the client’s goals and pace. This approach helps people who need a steady, empathetic presence while they talk through anxiety, grief, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can use worksheets, home practice, and clear steps to test new thinking and reduce anxious behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy trains brief attention and breathing practices that fit into daily routines and can be guided easily over video or phone.
Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals, adjusting plans as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so the direction of therapy stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different days and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, and ongoing support without scheduling a full call.
