About Karla
Karla Brockman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She brings 35 years of experience in community mental health to each session and aims to offer a warm, interactive, and supportive presence. Karla writes straightforward, practical plans with clients to address their everyday concerns and goals.
Her work often centers on common struggles like depression, grief, trauma and relationship strain. She also helps with sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, career decisions, and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, and caregiver stress are other areas she addresses. Karla primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those methods help people spot patterns, try new behaviors, and build skills that fit their lives.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented rather than lecture-style. She has a long history in community mental health settings working with a wide range of concerns. That background means she’s used to practical problem solving and helping people make steady changes.
Clients and therapists work together to create an action plan that matches the person’s needs. Karla practices in Kansas as an LCPC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
How Karla’s Methods Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of the things a person cares about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems.Choosing a method is a team effort. Karla will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the client and therapist try approaches and adjust the plan over time so it fits the person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions where visual cues matter. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady progress without travel.
