How Kari works
Sessions include skill-building, problem solving, and strategies people can reuse after therapy ends. Her background includes work in social services across settings that addressed trauma, substance use, domestic violence, sexual assault, and medical-behavioral health integration. That experience informs a down-to-earth approach to complex concerns like co-occurring issues, grief, and identity-related stress.
She also supports people navigating adoption or foster care matters and those wrestling with body image or eating-related patterns. Kari draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques to help clients learn new habits and manage strong emotions. She uses motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Treatment plans are individualized and focused on measurable steps toward the client's priorities. People who choose Kari can expect a steady, goal-oriented partnership that balances practical tools with personal understanding. She aims to teach skills that make everyday life more manageable and meaningful.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and personal strengths, with the therapist reflecting and supporting choices so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a steady, validating space to sort through feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing stress through clear techniques and homework-style practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions or repeated urges that lead to risky behaviors.
Determining the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities and then try approaches that match those needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy makes those approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills with visual cues, phone sessions are good for lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can work for brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options add flexibility for fitting care into a busy life while keeping the work focused on real, practical change.
