Karol Ebio , LMFT

Karol Ebio is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with 18 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Lutheran University in 2005 and a Bachelor’s degree from St. Martin’s University in 2001. Over more than a decade working in the community mental health system, she also earned Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS) and Mental Health Professional (MHP) designations, experience that shaped her work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Karol draws on a client-centered stance that highlights each person’s strengths and resources while also using a systemic lens to understand how relationships and context influence behavior and emotion. She selects from a range of evidence-based techniques - including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), insight-oriented approaches, and narrative and experiential therapies - tailoring methods to fit the concern at hand. Her experiential orientation emphasizes making sense of feelings and learning to tolerate and integrate emotional experience.

She treats a broad array of concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and marriage difficulties, trauma, anger management, communication problems, and life transitions. Karol focuses on helping people increase motivation, build self-esteem, and grow confidence. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she customizes dialogue and treatment plans to match individual needs while supporting and empowering clients through change.
