About Kari
Kari Snelson is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of professional experience in Colorado. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for common life struggles. Kari creates a calm space so people can talk about painful things without judgment.
Kari helps people sort through relationship difficulties and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, depression, changes in life circumstances, and addictions.
How Kari works
Counseling addresses everyday problems like sleep or eating struggles, anger, and career stress alongside mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Her practice includes attention to self-esteem, motivation, and confidence building. Kari works with people facing grief, postpartum depression, dissociation, obsessions and compulsions, and the strain that comes with blended family situations.
She also brings experience around multicultural issues, first responder concerns, and cancer-related stress. Kari uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, focusing on straightforward tools and clear steps people can try between meetings. Sessions aim to be collaborative - she listens, helps set goals, and adjusts the plan based on how things are going.
People can expect a practical approach that balances emotional support with action-focused strategies. Kari speaks English and practices in Colorado as an LCSW, CSW. She encourages those who feel ready to take the first step toward change to begin the matching process and schedule a session.

Online support options
Evidence-based care delivered online
Many of the techniques Kari uses come from evidence-based therapeutic approaches that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and routines to manage mood, sleep, and daily functioning; it is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and motivation. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and reducing its day-to-day impact by helping people tell their story, manage strong emotions, and reestablish a sense of safety in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try strategies, check what works, and adjust the plan when needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and use a richer conversation style. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the format that feels most comfortable for the person.
