Hello! My name is Carina Richards.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing as an online therapist in the state of Texas.  After earning my Masters in Social Work from the University of Louisville, I moved from Fort Knox, KY to San Antonio, TX to begin my journey to being a clinical social worker.  With over 10 years of experience in the field of behavioral health, it has been my mission to serve others in the form of counseling and provide support during times when life seems the most challenging. 

Since my move to Texas, my passion for helping others has allowed me the opportunity to work with a diverse population of individuals, as well as gain experience using different treatment modalities for a variety of mental health diagnoses. I specialize in providing online counseling services to individuals located in the state of Texas.  Populations that I currently serve are: Adults, Geriatrics, Active Duty Service Members, and Veterans.  Diagnoses that I primarily treat are: Depression, Anxiety, OCD, and Mood Disorders.  I use several treatment modalities to include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Training, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.

As a Christian, I hold strongly to the belief of serving others and make it my mission to be a source of support as you navigate your journey through life. Through personal and professional experience, I offer a warm and welcoming environment where you and I are able to explore the what is currently causing disruption and discomfort in your life and develop a plan where you are thriving and not just surviving life.  Taking the first step is often the hardest, but it is not one that you have to take alone. Let's take the first step to discovering your story.  I look forward to hearing from you!
