How Karie’s approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practice this means noticing thoughts that make anxiety or sadness worse and testing small changes to see if they help. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build momentum by exploring values and goals. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes specific, actionable steps and small experiments that move someone toward clearer choices and less overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karie will help clients decide which method or mix of methods fits their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as people try different techniques and see what helps them handle everyday problems more effectively.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals commonly use these benefits to support consistent work on stress, career questions, parenting struggles and relationship patterns without promising particular results.
