About Karin
Dr. Karin Celosse helps people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck find a clearer way forward. She speaks plainly and listens closely to learn what matters to each person.
Her approach respects the client as the expert on their life while offering guidance to change what no longer works. She uses a blend of methods to meet practical needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered work are often part of sessions when people want to reduce worry, manage mood, or address substance use.
Background and approach
Attachment-focused ideas and existential conversations can help when identity, meaning, or relationships feel disrupted. Dr. Celosse is a California psychologist - CA Psychologist 29839 - with seven years of professional experience.
Her background includes work in community mental health and forensic settings, and prior experience as a medic and field training officer. That mix gives her direct familiarity with trauma and the effects of stressful work on wellbeing. She supports people coping with anxiety, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, sleep and eating concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and LGBT-related issues.
Additional focus areas include chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment issues, and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and Swedish, and Dr. Celosse meets with international clients.
Therapy is organized around the person's goals, and she helps people build small, practical steps they can try between appointments.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small committed steps toward those values, even when anxiety or difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that maintain worry or low mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and personal pacing so people feel heard while they consider change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions can mix approaches over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for people with busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options let clients fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel demands while maintaining a steady course of care.
