About Shemeah
Shemeah Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience. She is based in Colorado and works with adults facing issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, and anger. She supports people who want practical ways to manage strong feelings and move forward with daily life.
She sees people as the authors of their own lives and treats clients as experts on their stories. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that can reduce reactivity and improve relationships. She uses clear, hands-on techniques rather than jargon, so clients can use what they learn right away.
Her background includes work across varied settings and with diverse concerns, including ADHD, relationship struggles, family-of-origin issues, and challenges tied to adoption or caregiver stress. She combines client-centered work with strategies from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to address mood, impulsivity, and anger.
In practice she may also draw on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people clarify goals and rewrite parts of their story that feel stuck. That mix supports both short-term coping skills and deeper shifts in how people relate to themselves and others.
People who contact her typically want straightforward tools for stress, clearer ways to handle resentment or outbursts, and help rebuilding trust in relationships. To get started, she asks new clients to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
She uses client-centered therapy to start most work, which means the conversation begins with the client's priorities and strengths. This approach helps people who feel stuck or unsure what to change by clarifying goals and focusing on what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice different responses. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood problems because it emphasizes clear steps and skill practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy is another tool she brings in to help with reactivity and stress. It involves simple breathing and attention practices to notice impulses before acting on them and to reduce automatic escalation of anger.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on CBT skills for weeks, adding mindfulness exercises, or using narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while they practice new ways of handling anger and stress.
