How Kari’s Approaches Work Online

Kari uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and sleep problems because it focuses on practical strategies and skill practice. Client-centered therapy means conversations are guided by the client's concerns and values, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify what matters most.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals that build momentum. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods over time so the work fits each person's needs.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or scheduling between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between appointments.
