About Shemeah

Shemeah Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience working in Colorado. She focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She offers therapy in English and does not accept international clients.

Her work begins with the belief that each person knows their own story. She listens first, helping people name what is happening and notice their strengths. Sessions are practical and direct, with an emphasis on everyday changes that can reduce anger, stress, or anxiety.

Shemeah draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot patterns of thought and behavior that fuel anger or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s perspective at the center of planning, which helps people feel heard while deciding next steps.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories that keep someone stuck. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel unsure where to begin. These methods are woven together to suit what a person brings to the room.

Practical issues are part of the work. She helps people practice skills between sessions, rehearse difficult conversations, and break big problems into smaller steps. To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Shemeah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain anger or anxiety and testing new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people respond more calmly to stress.

She also weaves in Client-Centered Therapy, which means she starts from the person’s goals and preferences. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps you most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for appointments. These practical benefits can help people practice skills between meetings and apply what they learn to real-life situations.
