About Kari

Kari Cover is a licensed professional counselor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, life transitions, ADHD, grief, and workplace or career struggles. Kari aims to make the first step toward change feel achievable and straightforward.

Kari builds an open, nonjudgmental space so people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps shape goals and small actions to try between sessions. Her style draws on several proven methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Mindfulness tools teach simple ways to stay present and reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused techniques emphasize quickly finding what works and amplifying it. Kari also uses client-centered principles to follow each person’s pace and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change.

Together these approaches aim to improve coping, communication, and self-confidence. She holds an LPC credential, licensed in Pennsylvania, and brings four years of practical experience. Kari keeps language plain and sessions practical so parents and busy adults can fit therapy into real life.

If someone wants straightforward support with family or parenting stressors, she offers a calm, focused approach.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s pace so conversations feel comfortable and pressure-free. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, supportive space to sort feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is practical for managing anxiety, low mood, anger, and workplace or relationship patterns because it breaks problems into clear steps to practice.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. They adjust methods as progress and priorities become clearer, keeping the process collaborative.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into family and work life and to use therapy tools in real time. Licensed professionals can use these options to support consistent work on goals without requiring travel or long waits.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
