About Kari

Kari Regehr is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Alabama with six years of clinical experience. She integrates evidence-based strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, substance concerns, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

Kari emphasizes practical tools alongside compassionate listening to support clients facing grief, parenting stress, intimacy questions, and life transitions. Her work draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-informed methods to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills.

She also uses acceptance and commitment concepts and solution-focused strategies to identify values and attainable steps forward. Kari aims to create a collaborative space where individuals can explore emotions, process family of origin concerns, and address issues such as anger, self-esteem, and addiction without fear of judgment.

How practical approaches translate to online therapy



Kari often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, addiction-related behaviors, and stress. This approach focuses on noticing patterns, testing beliefs, and practicing new responses in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another method she draws on, inviting clients to clarify their values and build committed actions even when difficult emotions remain present; this can be helpful for grief, chronic worry, and life transitions.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kari works with each person to understand goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she adjusts methods over time as needs change. The aim is to find practical strategies that fit the client rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with Kari is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and geography. These formats make it easier to access care from home or on the go and allow for ongoing check-ins and skills practice between live sessions.
