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 anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting struggles, relationship issues, and family of origin issues. She also supports people navigating ADHD, gender identity questions, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT and gender dysphoria.
Shemeah centers sessions on the person's own story and strengths. She tends to use clear, practical conversation to identify patterns that started in early family life and still affect daily choices now. She listens for recurring roles, expectations, and communication habits that keep people stuck or feeling crushed by guilt and shame.
Her practice mixes several approaches. Client-centered work keeps the conversation grounded in what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques help people learn to steady attention and respond rather than react.
Shemeah also draws on narrative therapy to examine the stories people tell about themselves and motivational interviewing to uncover what will actually help someone make a change. Sessions are practical and aim to leave people with clearer choices and small steps they can try between visits.
People looking into therapy often want to know what to expect at the first meeting. Shemeah asks about current problems, past family experiences, and immediate goals for therapy. From there she works with each client to pick approaches that fit their life and schedules.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Shemeah commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so the work reflects what matters most. This approach helps people clarify goals and make decisions that fit their life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that reinforce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful reactions to family dynamics. CBT provides clear steps to try between meetings and is useful for problems like worry, anger, or low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shemeah collaborates with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and what shows results in early sessions. She talks through options and checks in about how techniques are working as therapy progresses.
