Dayshia Richmond, LCPC
I’m Dayshia Richmond, LCPC, NCC, CAIP, CTP, a psychotherapist in the state of Maryland (License Number LC16681). I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs and my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School.
I understand that therapy can feel like walking into a dark room, which is why I focus on creating a calming, nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore your emotions and where we can turn the light on together. My work is grounded in cultural competency, and I believe effective therapy must reflect and respect the diverse identities, backgrounds, and experiences of my clients.
I believe mental health care should be accessible and meet you where you are - both emotionally and literally. Through my virtual practice, I strive to make therapy more convenient, approachable, and within reach. At the core of my approach is empowerment: supporting you in developing the tools, insight, and confidence needed to grow, heal, and thrive on your own terms.
What to Expect
Your First Session
After your free 15-minute consultation to ensure we’re a good fit, your first session usually takes a little extra time to review your paperwork, discuss what brings you to counseling, and collaborate on a treatment plan to help guide future sessions. This is a welcoming space to share your story at your own pace, and my goal is to ensure you feel supported as we begin your journey.
Ongoing Support
We’ll meet virtually on a regular basis to explore challenges, build skills, and notice what’s working. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what matters most to you. These sessions last 50 minutes.
Change & Guidance
As therapy progresses, we’ll adjust goals as needed, celebrate growth, and continue to center your voice and experience. Healing doesn’t look the same for everyone; together, we’ll find the approach that fits you.
