Caress Redd, LMHC

Caress Redd is a licensed clinician who helps people manage emotions, set boundaries, and find greater stability in relationships. With 14 years of clinical experience, she works primarily with depression, anxiety, trauma, and parenting-related concerns. She is credentialed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington and also holds a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credential in Oregon, titles that reflect her training and clinical practice.

She brings a direct, results-oriented style designed to help clients build stronger boundaries and create lasting change, while also maintaining an empathic, nonjudgmental space for exploring personal history. Treatment plans are individualized to reflect each person’s circumstances, strengths, and goals, so interventions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Her approach emphasizes practical skills for coping with stress, improving communication, and addressing mood and trauma-related symptoms.

Caress aims to support clients through meaningful shifts in their lives, recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage. She offers guidance and accountability while empowering people to reclaim safety and stability in their relationships and daily functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Caress Redd uses evidence-based techniques that emphasize practical skills and trauma-sensitive care. One focus is skills-based work for anxiety and mood regulation - teaching coping strategies, stress management tools, and communication skills to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Another focus is trauma-informed therapy - helping clients process difficult experiences, strengthen safety and boundaries, and rebuild a sense of stability in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Caress will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor interventions that fit the individual. The therapist’s direct yet supportive style helps clients set clear expectations and practice new patterns between sessions.

Online sessions make accessing care more flexible and convenient. Clients can meet by video, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging according to what fits their schedule and comfort level. This range of options helps people stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
