More about Karishma

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am licensed in Texas with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, and building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that process.

Are you struggling with chronic relapse, binges, sex/love/porn addiction, excess substance use, dissociative disorder, attachment issues, or overwhelming OCD? Do you want to decrease your urge to vape, smoke marijuana/nicotine, or drink? Have you experienced social phobia, one or more addictions, sexual abuse, trauma, or intense phobias? Are you suffering from grief and loss or complex PTSD? If OCD or phobias are making everyday life feel overwhelming—whether it’s constant worries, exhausting rituals, or fears that hold you back—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it without help.

I provide therapy exclusively through messaging here on BetterHelp. This means all of our communication will take place in this secure message thread rather than through live video, phone, or chat sessions.

Here’s what you can expect:

- You can send me messages anytime that feels right for you—whether it’s sharing thoughts, questions, or updates.

- I check and respond to messages within 24-48 hours.

- Our written exchanges will serve as the foundation of your therapy, giving you space to reflect and revisit our conversations whenever you need.

I encourage you to use this space freely—whether it’s a quick note about your day or a longer reflection. Together, we’ll build a record of your progress and strategies that you can return to anytime.

I look forward to supporting you through this format.

About online counseling

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
