She practices in Missouri and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and related concerns.

Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings to reduce distress and build new routines. Karley draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change small habits.
She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central to the work. When trauma or overwhelming experiences are part of the picture, Karley brings trauma-focused methods into the conversation and moves at a pace that feels tolerable. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify immediate, achievable changes when that fits a client's needs.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She balances practical tools with attention to emotions and connection. Karley supports people who want clear steps toward coping better, improving relationships, or managing everyday challenges.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Karley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and ADHD-related planning difficulties. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore how emotions and attachment patterns affect relationships and closeness, which can help when communication or intimacy issues are central.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Karley talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. From there she blends approaches and adjusts pace so the plan matches a client's needs and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for clear verbal check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or people who prefer writing between sessions. These options give flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or when a shorter check-in is needed.
