Background and approach

That helps identify patterns that keep someone feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. She believes psychotherapy can change how people relate to themselves and others. Sessions mix support with gentle challenge so clients gain new insights and new habits.

Together she and the client set concrete goals and check progress along the way. Karie addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, bipolar disorder, anger, and self-esteem. She also helps people coping with life changes such as employment shifts, education, marriage, or divorce.

ADHD is among the concerns she lists. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs. Karie responds to messages several times a day and schedules sessions to match client needs and timing.

She is licensed in Rhode Island as an LICSW.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many of the evidence-based techniques Karie uses help people notice feelings, test new behaviors, and shift unhelpful thinking. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; it helps people make different choices day to day. Another core method emphasizes tracking emotions and body sensations to better understand reactions to stress and past hurts; this is useful for grief, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaboration. Karie will talk with a client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This means the therapy plan can change as progress happens and as needs become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text let clients check in between sessions or fit a short meeting into a busy day. These options make it easier to match therapy to work, school, or family rhythms while keeping care consistent.
