About Kari

Kari Regehr is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood challenges, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. Kari aims to make the first step into therapy feel understandable and manageable for a worried parent or caregiver.

She practices in a straightforward, compassionate way. Sessions are practical and conversational. Kari listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals.

Background and approach

She prefers simple tools families can use right away at home. Kari draws from several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different patterns of thinking.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings and act in line with what matters to them. Mindfulness practices are offered to support stress reduction and emotional regulation. Solution-focused ideas guide short-term planning and clear next steps when immediate problems need attention.

Kari adapts these tools to fit each family’s routine and values. Clients can expect a direct but warm style. Conversations focus on practical changes, parenting strategies, and improving communication.

Kari helps people break big problems into manageable steps and tracks progress over time.

Approaches to healing and how online therapy fits

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by shifting attention toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. This approach is practical and skill-oriented, often used for anxiety, mood challenges, and problem-solving in daily life.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can be adjusted over time so the plan stays useful and relevant for families and individuals.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which help fit therapy into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to connect from home, follow through on parenting plans, and check in between meetings. Flexibility in timing and communication methods supports steady progress while adapting to family routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
