Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kari integrates approaches that help clients make sense of difficult emotions and move toward valued living. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice and accept internal experiences while clarifying personal values and taking committed action - an approach that can help with anxiety, persistent stress, and difficult life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional experience and attachment needs, often supporting couples and individuals who want to improve connection, intimacy, and communication. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the impact of traumatic events by building safety, processing painful memories at a manageable pace, and developing coping skills to reduce trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kari works collaboratively with each person to match methods to the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or geographic limitations. Kari provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication styles and schedules, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support when it fits into daily life.
