Dr. Shari Richardson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Doctorate in Social Work. My specialties include treatment of problems related to foster care, adoption, and family and other interpersonal relationships, issues with attachment, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families experiencing issues related to acute and chronic life stressors. Treatment approaches used are integrative and include cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused theories. My goal in using these approaches is to help understand your unique life experiences and how they have led to deficit-based feelings, emotions, and behaviors. Acknowledging the need to change is easy but following through is often very difficult. Finding the right person to help you through your journey can be draining but important in successfully accomplishing your goals. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable to another person is scary, but it is a strength that aids in the healing process. Let me be your partner as you journey towards living the life you deserve.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether therapy delivered remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, research and clinical practice indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the clearest benefits is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their life and comfort level, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That convenience makes it simpler to maintain regular appointments and integrate therapeutic work into a busy schedule.

All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy offers an accessible way to receive professional support for many everyday mental health concerns while keeping the focus on practical, therapeutic progress.
