More about Kari

- LMSW
My name is Kari Wright and I have been a licensed social worker for 13 years. First, let me say thank you for looking at my profile and also say congrats for the courage you have demonstrated in seeking support.
As a clinician, my goal is to walk alongside you as you share your life. I seek to provide a safe space so that you can begin to feel better. Formally, I tend to use cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and EMDR. I have extensive experience with grief, loss, depression, and trauma, but also willing to explore any topic. I am comfortable working with adults and children. I am a clinician that's a Christian, but do not provide Christian counseling exclusively... I will NEVER attempt to talk about religion if you don't want to.
Informally, I strive to make sure I understand what your saying, provide validation, feedback, and explore different perspectives. Therapy is a partnership so it will take both of us to get this right. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions.
I hope to speak with you soon.
Kindly
Kari

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
