Background and approach
She also supports people managing grief, trauma, ADHD, and identity-related stresses within the LGBT community. Kari uses Client-Centered methods to build a trusting space where clients guide the pace of work. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop clearer coping skills.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps create short-term goals and quick steps toward improvement when people want focused change. In sessions she concentrates on clear, usable strategies rather than technical jargon. Conversations are practical and grounded in daily life, such as improving communication, reducing panic symptoms, or strengthening self-esteem.
Kari adapts plans as progress unfolds and as needs shift. She conducts work in English and provides services via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session based on availability.
Approaches that fit your life, delivered online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, creating space to talk through what matters most and to set the pace of work. This is helpful for people who need a respectful, steady place to sort feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. It teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic, or persistent low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims for practical steps and quick wins. Sessions concentrate on identifying small, achievable goals and building on strengths to create momentum toward change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and daily life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text work well for shorter updates, mood tracking, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, family schedules, or other routines.
