- LIMHP, LMHC
As a licensed therapist in Nebraska, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, and personal growth.
I specialize in working with diverse populations, offering expertise in addressing self-esteem, life transitions, communication challenges, and interpersonal relationships. My approach is deeply respectful of individual experiences, particularly for LGBTQ+ communities, those exploring sexuality, and individuals processing complex emotional landscapes.
I'm committed to helping clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and healthy coping strategies. Whether you're working through relationship dynamics, processing past experiences, or seeking personal empowerment, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your authentic self and build meaningful change.
My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based practices with a holistic, person-centered approach, honoring each client's unique journey and inherent strengths.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very nice and great to talk to. Can pick things out before you even tell her. Overall great therapist
Patient and thoughtful. Not afraid to challenge and very non judgmental.
Kari is absolutely fantastic. I came to Better Help for therapy after experiencing multiple subsequent break ups. Kari is already knowledgeable and experienced with the Polyamorous community, so starting therapy with her meant we could jump right in to helping me instead of having to explain my lifestyle over and over. Kari is a great listener, note taker, and advice giver. She asks me the difficulty questions I can't ask myself, and gives me tools and references to help me learn about and help myself. She made me feel welcome immediately. She encourages me, and helps me see the positives when all I'm seeing are negatives. She's changed my life, and I cannot recommend Kari enough.
Finding a therapist you connect with is so important and I’m so glad I got matched with Kari. I was so comfortable in our first session and look forward to continue working with her
After my first session with Kari, I could already tell she was great at what she does. She made me feel so seen, heard, and loved! Very open minded and passionate about her clients. I am looking forward to my next sessions with Kari!
