Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Kari draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build practical skills. Cognitive and behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing coping skills to reduce stress and anxiety and improve daily functioning. Trauma-informed approaches help clients process past harm at a pace that feels manageable while addressing its impact on relationships and wellbeing. Skills-based relapse prevention and recovery planning support those working with addictions by teaching concrete tools to navigate triggers and maintain progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Kari collaborates with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they monitor what is working and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those in different locations. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
