About Kari
Kari Trempler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She has 23 years of experience in counseling-related work and supports clients dealing with parenting, adoption and foster care issues, grief, addictive behaviors, attention concerns, and life transitions. Kari aims for a straightforward, accepting approach in sessions.
She starts by listening to what each person wants to change.
Background and approach
Then she offers practical tools and ideas that fit the person's goals and everyday life. Sessions focus on clear steps rather than jargon. Her background includes extensive work with family problems, abuse and neglect, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.
That experience informs how she helps people rebuild routines and set healthier boundaries. She also supports people managing body image, eating concerns, and intimacy-related struggles. Kari draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and uses attachment-based ideas and mindfulness strategies when helpful.
She may include trauma-focused methods as appropriate to a person's history and needs. The therapist adapts methods to the situation rather than following only one path. People who prefer practical exercises and steady support may find this style easy to follow.
Kari emphasizes acceptance and nonjudgment while offering tools for coping, communication, and problem solving. Her work seeks to make daily life more manageable and purposeful.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns people repeat with others. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of connecting with partners, children, or caregivers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. That approach suits anxiety, mood struggles, and daily coping tasks in remote sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce reactivity, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over video or text.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to what matters most, discusses options, and tries methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. Adjustments happen over time so the plan remains aligned with progress and changing needs.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist observe expressions and work through exercises together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a brief break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow frequent check-ins, quick troubleshooting, and written exercises to review later. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
