About Shemeah

Shemeah Richardson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work in cognitive behavioral principles while blending client-centered and mindfulness practices. She draws on twelve years of clinical experience to help people navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship-related challenges.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes identifying practical patterns of thought and behavior while honoring each person’s lived experience and strengths. Shemeah frames therapy as a collaborative process that respects clients as experts in their own lives and uses evidence-informed tools to address concerns like ADHD, self-esteem struggles, anger, and life transitions.

She also brings attention to family dynamics, parenting issues, adoption and foster care questions, abandonment and family-of-origin themes, and issues such as guilt, shame, gender dysphoria, and isolation. Located in Colorado, she offers a supportive, respectful space for exploring difficult emotions and building coping strategies that fit daily life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Access

Shemeah uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. She also incorporates client-centered therapy, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal setting to honor each person’s strengths and priorities. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to support present-moment awareness and stress reduction when needed.

Choosing an approach is a team effort and part of the therapeutic process. Shemeah works with clients to explore which methods feel most useful, adjusting strategies based on individual needs, preferences, and goals so that the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Shemeah is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow work to continue between appointments, and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while still working with a licensed professional.
