About Shemeah
Shemeah Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work on the person in front of her. She speaks plainly, listens carefully, and helps people make sense of hard experiences. Shemeah affirms clients' strengths while working through grief, anxiety, depression, and major life changes.
She has twelve years of clinical experience and has supported people facing trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem. She also helps with ADHD, anger, isolation, and issues tied to adoption, abandonment, or family of origin. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among her focus areas.
Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow clients' priorities and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories. She combines those approaches with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness skills to address unhelpful thinking and strong emotions in practical ways.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable steps. Shemeah uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to plan small next moves. She listens for patterns, offers techniques for stress and anxiety, and works with clients to tailor strategies that fit daily life.
She practices in Colorado and works in English. If you decide to start, you will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Shemeah draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's agenda and to build on their strengths. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients name what matters most to them and what they want to change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to practice small behavioral experiments. CBT can be used to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and build step-by-step coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she offers to help people notice and respond to strong emotions more calmly through short practices and grounding techniques.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily routines. Shemeah checks in about what is working and adjusts strategies as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer in-person or certain digital formats, double-check those options when you schedule.
