How Karla works
For people struggling with drugs or alcohol, she focuses on motivation and small, achievable steps toward change. Her background includes supporting people through divorce, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues such as codependency, control struggles, impulsivity, and recovery after domestic violence.
Karla pays attention to how family roles and past events shape current choices. In therapy she draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her combine values-based work, practical skills, and goal-focused conversations.
Sessions are focused and collaborative, with tools people can try right away. Karla is based in Oklahoma and holds licensure also in Kansas. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for relationship struggles, addiction challenges, and making changes that stick. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with self-esteem, impulsivity, and coping with anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a short, collaborative method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build momentum toward recovery.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize values work, skill training, motivation, or a blend of methods as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other obligations while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
