Krisha Uden , LMHC, LIMHP

Krisha Uden is a Nebraska-based mental health therapist with 27 years of clinical experience who combines professional training with a faith-informed perspective. She holds the LMHC and LIMHP credentials - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - and maintains active licenses in both Nebraska and Iowa. Her work spans private practice and community settings, including a mental health center, group work with survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, grief support for military families, and parenting training.

Krisha approaches therapy with empathy and a focus on strengths, helping people explore their circumstances, identify coping resources, and set realistic goals. She draws on client-centered methods alongside evidence-based techniques to tailor treatment plans to each person s needs. Over the years she has supported individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting and blended family issues, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions.

As a Christian counselor and member of the American Association of Christian Counselors, Krisha integrates spiritual values for clients who find that helpful. She is active in her congregation at Christ Lutheran Church and balances ministry, family life on a farm with her husband, and raising five children. In December 2022 she received a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer, underwent treatment, and now describes herself as a survivor with an optimistic prognosis. Krisha is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and the Benefits of Online Care

Krisha integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration to help individuals explore their values and goals - an approach that is especially helpful for people seeking meaning, support with life changes, or clarification about relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Additionally, she applies elements of emotionally-focused therapy to help couples and families access and express underlying emotions, improving connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Krisha works alongside clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques from these modalities to create a treatment plan that fits each person or family.

In her online practice Krisha offers multiple ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can choose the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level. These options support continuity of care, make it easier to attend sessions around other responsibilities, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support across distances.
