How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Many evidence-based techniques focus on skills that can be practiced in daily life. One common approach teaches clear coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These techniques help reduce immediate symptoms and increase confidence in handling stressors.

Another approach targets addictive behaviors by identifying triggers, building alternative routines, and developing relapse-prevention plans. Work in this area centers on short, practical exercises and tracking patterns to spot what supports change.

Finding the best method is a collaborative process. Kari will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and pace. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into workdays, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals commonly adapt homework and in-session practice so tools learned in a session can be used between meetings.
