About Shetara
Shetara Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting strain, anger, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She works in English and is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Shetara focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She encourages people to name what angers or frustrates them and to notice how those feelings show up in daily life. She uses straightforward tools to manage strong reactions and to reduce repeated patterns that cause problems at work or at home.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and to build actions that matter. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Mindfulness practices to steady attention. Motivational Interviewing informs how she helps people find their own reasons to change.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps clients set small steps they can use between meetings. She aims to make skills practical so they fit into a normal day rather than feeling like extra work.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shetara commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes that reduce anger and stress.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills give short, repeatable strategies for calming down, setting boundaries, and handling conflict with less escalation. These approaches aim to teach tools that can be used between sessions and at moments of high tension.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. She will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the kinds of situations that trigger anger. The first sessions are often used to try different tools and settle on what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where anger actually happens, which can make skill-building more practical and immediate.
