About KariAnna
She uses clear, direct conversation to help people understand what matters to them. Sessions focus on immediate concerns like sleep, mood, or coping with loss, and on everyday skills that make a difference between visits. Clients can expect an approach that centers their goals and pace rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
KariAnna blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available when the situation calls for helping emotions feel more manageable or improving communication.
Her background includes work with people coping with trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, parenting stress, addiction, and grief. She also addresses issues such as body image, ADHD, dissociation, and relationship intimacy. KariAnna aims to make therapy practical so people leave sessions with small, doable steps.
If you are weighing therapy, she asks only that you take the next step. Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and a chance to schedule when convenient.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people feel and respond. Online sessions can be used to identify patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In virtual work CBT tools are taught in simple steps so they can be practiced between meetings to change mood and routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and organize strong emotions and improve communication; it can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming and clearer expression is needed.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is discussed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as session formats are listed by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use sessions when they need focused skill practice or a calmer way to talk through difficult topics without rearranging their whole day.
