Kari Dry

Kari Dry is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Kari focuses on practical steps people can use day to day when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

She starts by listening to what matters most to each person and then builds on existing strengths. Sessions are straightforward and goal-minded: talk through current struggles, test small changes, and notice what helps. Kari respects that people know their lives best and offers guidance rather than one-size-fits-all answers.

Over her career she has supported people coping with addictions and with the aftermath of abuse. She also helps those facing family conflict, caregiver stress, isolation, and relationship issues such as commitment or infidelity. Her experience includes work with first responders and concerns tied to aging and geriatric issues.

Kari often addresses guilt, shame, control issues, codependency, and problems linked to drug and alcohol use. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each concern and encourages practical coping skills alongside longer-term changes. Her approach is direct and focused on what clients want to change.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site’s booking steps to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear skills and repeatable practices. Cognitive approaches help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood, teaching concrete steps to test new ways of thinking. Behavioral strategies concentrate on changing routines and habits, useful for depression, addiction, and rebuilding daily structure.

Therapists also use trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult experiences at a manageable pace. These approaches aim to reduce distressing symptoms by pacing work, building coping skills, and improving emotional regulation rather than forcing detailed recall all at once.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the available techniques, consider the client’s goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as needed. This collaborative process helps determine whether cognitive, behavioral, trauma-focused, or other evidence-based tools are most helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. They also allow people who live far from providers to connect with licensed professionals and continue care despite life changes.
