Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy is rooted in empathy and respect, inviting people to lead the pace and focus of their work while the therapist provides understanding and support; it often helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and building trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping in high-stress moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kari works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, combining methods where appropriate so that therapy fits each person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility by making sessions available over video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can accommodate varied schedules, mobility needs, and geographic constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt exercises and skill-building practices to these formats, helping people access consistent care without sacrificing continuity or therapeutic focus.
