Background and approach

She helps clients build motivation, boost self-esteem, and cope with loss or major life transitions. She also works with concerns such as bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and workplace stress. Richardson creates a calm space where clients can share thoughts without judgment.

Sessions emphasize practical tools and clear goals. She uses techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try small changes that lead to relief. Clients may focus on specific problems like divorce, family problems, or grief.

Others come for help with emptiness, guilt, or loneliness. She also supports women dealing with identity and self-love concerns, and people facing end-of-life caregiving or hospice-related emotions. Her style blends client-centered conversations with cognitive strategies and solution-focused steps.

That mix lets sessions stay grounded and action-oriented while still honoring each person’s experience. Richardson practices in Tennessee and offers care in English.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you so you feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a calm space to name feelings and priorities and to decide what change feels right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves looking at patterns of thinking and testing small behavioral changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing unhelpful thoughts. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the work to clear goals and practical steps you can try between sessions to make progress quickly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together you decide whether to lean more on listening and exploration, on skill-building with CBT, or on focused goal work with solution-focused techniques, and adjustments are made as you go.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when shorter, frequent contact helps keep momentum. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions around everyday life.
