Background and approach
Karem uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and develop committed action. These approaches are used to address panic, social anxiety, mood concerns, and low self-esteem.
Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She helps clients identify small, doable steps toward goals like improved communication, healthier boundaries, or reduced panic symptoms. Work often includes skills practice and real-world experiments between sessions.
She also supports people facing addiction, grief, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and multicultural concerns. When relevant, she integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Karem aims to help clients move toward greater self-compassion and a more purposeful life.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take action that matches their values. It is useful for anxiety, panic, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, avoidance, and low mood. It often involves short exercises and homework to practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Karem will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. That process may include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as needs change, with clear steps and shared decision making.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer conversations. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
