About Karla

Karla keeps explanations clear and focuses on practical steps clients can take between sessions.

Background and approach

In the room she listens for what matters most to the client. Conversations move at a steady, collaborative pace so clients leave with at least one useful idea to try. Parents are supported with practical strategies for managing parenting challenges and family stress.

Her background includes helping people cope with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, addictions, and attention concerns like ADHD. She also addresses issues around self-esteem, anger, chronic illness, and life purpose. Karla draws on two main therapeutic styles to shape sessions around each person’s needs.

People who like clear direction and short-term problem solving often find this approach helpful. Karla aims to make therapy feel doable even when starting feels hard. She encourages small steps and honest conversation as the path forward.

How her approaches work online and in session

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It breaks problems into small parts so clients can test practical changes and reduce anxiety or depression symptoms over time. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what’s already working and builds concrete steps toward a preferred future. It is useful when you want short-term, goal-focused work that produces quick, usable ideas.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Karla will work with each person to decide whether CBT, solution-focused work, or a mix makes the most sense. She treats this as a collaboration and adjusts methods to match the client’s goals, energy, and daily demands.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings and are good when visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when writing helps you process. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family life.
