Kari Trempler, LPC - Therapist in Missouri

About Kari

Kari Trempler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and struggles with sleep and eating. She also addresses addiction concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, ADHD, and career or life purpose questions. Kari speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use right away.

Kari uses an approach that starts by meeting people where they are and listening without judgment.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a partnership where the person seeking help guides the goals and the counselor offers tools and support. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and focused on what the client wants to change. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, while also using attachment-based ideas and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma needs direct attention.

Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with stress, emotional regulation, and staying focused on progress. With more than two decades in counseling-related roles, Kari brings practical experience to common and complex problems like blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, communication struggles, and caregiver stress. She keeps the conversation simple and goal-oriented so people can see steps forward.

Sessions are available online to people in Missouri and to international clients in English. Kari’s style is steady, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping a person find workable strategies that fit their life and parenting concerns.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. In short, it looks at patterns of closeness and trust and helps people build more stable ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and actions and replace them with clearer, more effective ways of coping. It is practical and goal oriented for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to pick or combine methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Sessions may shift over time as needs change, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between appointments. The variety of options supports different communication styles and practical constraints, so people can use the mode that best fits their life.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
