Evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Karri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to remote work. One approach emphasizes practical, skill-based strategies that teach stress management, emotion regulation, and coping tools to address anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. These techniques help clients develop day-to-day skills for managing intense feelings and improving functioning.

A second approach focuses on exploratory, insight-oriented work that examines family patterns, grief, and life purpose. This work invites clients to reflect on relationships and past experiences in order to create new ways of relating and to foster long-term healing and growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Karri works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors interventions that fit those priorities. Together they evaluate progress and adjust methods as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect from home or other convenient locations while working toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
