About Kari
She keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth. Kari creates space for clients to say what they’re feeling and thinking without judgment. She listens closely, then works with each person to set simple goals that feel useful in everyday life.
Kari uses a mix of approaches to match needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices teach ways to steady attention and tolerate difficult feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify values and take actions that matter despite hard emotions.
Her background includes work with adults who have severe mental health and behavioral challenges, along with people coping with trauma, anger, and substance concerns. That experience informs how she stays calm and practical in difficult conversations.
Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings. Kari often blends short-term problem solving with broader skill building. If you want straightforward help sorting next steps, she works to make plans you can try and adjust as needed.

Approaches that guide online counseling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings get in the way. It can be useful for grief, depression, and life transitions where values clarify next moves.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce distress. It works well for anxiety, depression, and managing upsetting moods.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting back a person's experience so they feel understood and can find their own solutions. This approach supports people who need a calm, steady place to talk through difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques that fit, and adapt based on what helps. You and the therapist decide together which methods to keep and which to change.
Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into their week. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or make scheduling around work and caregiving simpler. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. The focus will be on practical strategies you can use between meetings and on making sessions fit your everyday schedule.
