About Kari

Kari Dry is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Kari works with adults who want practical help for everyday pressures and upsetting past events.

She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. Kari listens, asks clarifying questions, and helps people consider small steps that make a difference over time.

Her approach concentrates on skills people can use outside of sessions. That can include ways to manage panic or persistent worry, strategies to reduce substance use, and steps to repair or set boundaries in relationships. She also supports people processing trauma and its effects on daily life.

Kari has worked across settings over 14 years and brings practical experience with common adult stressors. She helps people who feel stuck after major life changes or who struggle with ongoing patterns like codependency, control issues, or isolation.

Sessions aim to be clear and manageable. Clients and Kari agree on goals, try strategies in real life, and review what works. She accepts international clients and works in English.

How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for stress and trauma focus on symptom management and skill building. For example, approaches that teach breathing, grounding, and thought-work help reduce anxiety and manage panic by changing how someone responds to worry or intrusive memories.

Another common method involves structured behavior and coping strategies for addictions and depressive patterns. This approach breaks larger problems into specific habits to change, and it supports practical steps people can try between sessions to reduce substance use or increase daily activity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kari will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and building a plan together rather than following a fixed route.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make attending therapy easier by fitting appointments around school, work, or caregiving. They also let people use shorter check-ins, audio-only conversations if needed, or regular video meetings depending on what works for their schedule and comfort.
