Krisha Uden , LMHC, LIMHP

Krisha Uden is a Nebraska-based mental health professional with 27 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, depression, and a wide range of life transitions. She holds the credentials LMHC and LIMHP - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - and maintains active licenses in both Nebraska and Iowa (NE LIMHP 227, IA LMHC 106520).

Krisha brings a faith-informed perspective to counseling and has long served in Christian ministry contexts, including membership in the American Association of Christian Counselors. She has provided therapy in private practice and at community mental health centers, and has led groups addressing domestic violence, grief for military families, and parenting education. Her clinical work emphasizes empathetic listening, identifying strengths, and collaborating with clients to create realistic treatment goals and plans that inspire hope and purposeful action.

Personal experience informs Krisha’s approach; she balances a career in counseling with family life as the spouse of a farmer and parent to five children, and she has also navigated her own health challenge as a breast cancer survivor diagnosed in December 2022. These experiences contribute to a compassionate, grounded style that values meaning, resilience, and practical coping skills. Krisha aims to offer comfort, encouragement, and insight as clients work toward healing and renewed direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Krisha draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy to guide online work in a way that fits each person's needs. Client-centered therapy centers on empathetic listening and creating a supportive space where clients explore their values and strengths, which can help with life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, which can be especially helpful for couples, attachment struggles, and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Krisha collaborates with clients to identify goals, assess what resonates, and adapt methods so therapy aligns with each person’s priorities and preferences.

Online therapy modalities such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to connect from home or while balancing work and family. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice new skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
