Krisha Uden

Krisha Uden is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns. She brings 27 years of experience and listens with empathy to understand each person’s situation. Krisha encourages people to notice their strengths and move toward goals that feel meaningful to them.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She works with clients to set clear goals and build a plan they feel motivated to follow. Sessions focus on understanding what led to current struggles and on learning skills to handle emotions, communicate more clearly, and rebuild relationships.

Krisha has worked in private practice and at a community mental health center. She has led groups on domestic violence, grief for military families, and parenting training. These roles have shaped her ability to support people through trauma, loss, and relational challenges.

She holds mental health licenses in Nebraska (LMHC) and Iowa (LIMHP) and draws on approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. Her faith is important to her, and she integrates a Christian perspective when clients want that included.

Krisha is a mother and partner in a rural household and understands the juggling of family and career demands. She shares from lived experience about coping with serious health challenges and recovering from difficult life events. That personal perspective influences how she encourages hope and purposeful action in sessions.

How Krisha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps them name goals and values. This approach helps when people need acceptance and clear guidance about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and depression.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through strong emotions that affect relationships. It supports repairing connection and improving communication where feelings get in the way.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Krisha will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques from these approaches to match each person’s needs. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust the plan together.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. If you prefer online work, check which session formats the therapist currently offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so people can work on goals between daily responsibilities.
