Approaches that guide online work and recovery

Karrie describes her practice as person-centered and trauma-informed. A person-centered approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s choices while building self-worth and clearer goals. It helps with low mood, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

A trauma-informed approach means paying attention to how painful experiences affect the body and behavior. It focuses on safety, pacing, and practical coping skills for symptoms like panic, hypervigilance, or avoidance that can follow trauma or abuse.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Karrie works collaboratively to figure out what fits best based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in regularly about what is or isn’t helping.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make regular check-ins more manageable for people juggling caregiving, work, or medical appointments. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online and in-person options before booking so you know which format will be used.
