About Shari
Dr. Shari Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 15 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and issues tied to foster care and adoption. She also works with grief, addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting strains, and career and life-change challenges.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused work to help people identify what isn’t working and build steps to change it. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than abstract theory discussions.
Clients often come with long-running stresses or a recent upheaval. She helps people name patterns from their past and try small experiments in daily life to shift responses. That can mean practicing different ways to talk in relationships or testing new routines that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Dr. Richardson draws on trauma-focused ideas when past hurts affect present behavior. She pays attention to attachment and the effects of adoption or foster care on relationships and identity. The emphasis is on clear strategies that fit a client’s daily life and responsibilities.
In practice she balances short-term problem solving with deeper work when it’s needed. She encourages steady progress and practical follow-through. The aim is to reduce avoidable stress and to increase usable skills for handling ongoing life demands.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Richardson often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people clarify their own goals. It is useful when someone needs space to sort through feelings and decide priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss your situation, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. Together you’ll try approaches and adjust them based on what helps most in everyday life.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid commuting on workdays. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between appointments and apply new skills where clients live and work.
