Approaches that guide online therapy

Kari integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the individual’s values and goals shape the work and the pace of change. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior and then practicing concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address problematic habits. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kari works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds. This tailored approach helps ensure therapy aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with Kari makes it possible to engage in sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency, access support during life transitions, and use tools learned in sessions within everyday routines.
