About Karishma
Karishma Workmon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and seasons of life that feel overwhelming.
Many people come to her after trying to hold everything together. She notices when clients say they are the strong one or the caretaker while their own needs go unmet. Conversations start with where a person already is, not with a checklist of problems to solve.
Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions blend listening with clear steps to reduce distress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Client-Centered methods and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when those tools fit the work.
In practice she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck, learn coping skills for intense emotions, and practice different ways of communicating in relationships. She also addresses issues like abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, and caregiver stress when these come up.
Karishma encourages short, concrete goals so progress feels visible. She asks clients what matters most and then tests small changes in everyday life. Therapy focuses on what people can try now, and how to handle setbacks with more skill and less self-blame.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and responding to what a person says so they feel heard and understood. It helps people clarify values and make decisions about next steps in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to notice unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings become overwhelming.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them fit therapy into a busy life - they can shorten travel time, allow easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and let someone check in between appointments when needed. The focus remains on practical skills and clear steps that can be applied between visits.
