How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters to them. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to move toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It usually includes skill practice and short exercises between sessions to build momentum. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kari will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions from the approaches above. She aims to be collaborative, checking in on what helps and adjusting methods as needed. Online formats offer flexible ways to keep therapy going. Video calls let people interact almost like an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill coaching, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady progress.
