Caress Redd is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar concerns, and stress-related struggles.

She begins by listening to what feels most urgent and confusing. Then she works with each person to shape a practical plan that matches their daily life. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings to manage mood shifts and reduce overwhelm.

Caress brings experience working with a wide range of life challenges. These include grief from separation, caregiver stress, chronic illness, workplace conflict, and issues rooted in family of origin.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Caress uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use in daily life. One common approach involves learning emotion regulation and boundary-setting strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve relationships. These techniques help people respond to mood swings, manage stress, and practice clearer communication.

Another approach centers on processing trauma and difficult experiences in a paced way. This often means gradually working through memories and reactions while building coping skills to handle strong emotions. The aim is to reduce the hold past events have on current functioning and to increase a person’s sense of safety and control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the first steps in therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify methods that fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences, and will adapt the plan over time as those needs change.
