She brings 23 years of experience to conversations about relationships, parenting, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach
Kari listens without judgment and supports people as they try different ways to cope and change. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral methods alongside attachment-based and mindfulness ideas. She uses whatever approach best fits the concern at hand, including trauma-focused techniques when past abuse or loss are central.
That mix helps with symptoms like sleep problems, impulsivity, and mood swings. Kari also addresses practical family-related concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, and communication problems. She helps people manage caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and career-related pressure while also working on self-esteem and body image issues.
People can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and tools to practice between sessions. Kari offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work helps people explore how past relationships shape current patterns. In an online session this can mean talking through family history and noticing recurring reactions, then trying new ways to connect or set boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT often uses homework, quick skill practice during a video call, and brief check-ins via text to track progress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about your goals, symptoms, and daily routines and will suggest methods to try. Together you can adjust the plan if a technique does not feel like a good fit, combining attachment ideas, CBT, or mindfulness approaches as needed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and skill modeling. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick questions, or when you prefer not to be on camera. These options help people keep therapy going around busy schedules and different life demands.
