About Kari

Kari Dry is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Kari works with adults who feel stuck after big life changes or who are trying to rebuild a sense of direction and purpose.

She starts by listening to each person's story and recognizing the strengths they already have. Sessions center on practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels. Kari helps people identify patterns that limit them and tests small changes that can make daily life more manageable.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She supports clients through issues such as substance use, relationship conflict, guilt and shame, and isolation. She also works with people facing aging and caregiving stresses, blended family challenges, and problems that can follow trauma.

Kari draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps clients notice how thoughts and behaviors interact, practice new ways of coping, and set realistic goals for change. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage cravings or impulses.

Clients who choose her often want a clear plan and practical strategies. Kari accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Many clients benefit from techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Cognitive-based approaches help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses that reduce anxiety and self-criticism. These methods are useful for stress, depression, and relationship worries.

Behavioral strategies are practical tools that change what people do day to day. This can include coping plans for cravings and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These tools help when dealing with addictions, avoidance, or routines that keep problems in place.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.

Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work across moves or extended travel. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and homework so they work in everyday settings rather than waiting for ideal conditions.
