Karrie Kudrna Behrent

Karrie Kudrna Behrent is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and family-related concerns. Karrie also supports work on life purpose, self-worth, social anxiety, panic-related symptoms, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.

She talks with clients about practical steps to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Conversations often focus on communication problems, family of origin issues, and handling relationship challenges like infidelity, commitment struggles, divorce, or separation. Karrie also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and body image concerns.

Her style is person-centered and trauma-informed. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. The focus is on understanding patterns that keep someone stuck and experimenting with changes that feel doable.

Karrie brings experience helping people through life transitions such as postpartum depression and midlife questions. She works with those processing posttraumatic stress and domestic violence, offering structured support to manage difficult memories and current stressors. Practical skills and emotional processing are combined to help clients move forward at their own pace.

She practices in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English. People interested in scheduling are asked to use the online matching and scheduling flow to choose an initial session and begin the intake process.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include straightforward, skill-focused work such as cognitive strategies that help people recognize and shift unhelpful thoughts. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing ADHD-related challenges.

Another common approach is trauma-informed care, which guides how conversations about past harm are paced and managed. This helps people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning without forcing fast change.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. That choice can evolve as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy week. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography did not list formats. Ask about options that best suit your needs, such as shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, so therapy can fit more easily into everyday life.
