About Karin
Dr. Karin Celosse welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next steps. She speaks plainly and listens closely to learn what matters to each person.
Her focus includes stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar-related challenges. Dr. Celosse is a California psychologist and works from a strengths-based, client-centered stance to help people find practical ways forward.
Background and approach
Her sessions aim to clarify what is getting in the way of daily functioning and well-being. She combines evidence-based tools such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attachment-focused ideas and a person-centered attitude. The result is a collaborative process that pays attention to values, thoughts, and relationships.
Dr. Celosse brings seven years of professional experience in mental health. She has worked in community mental health, forensic settings including state prison and probation, and with people affected by substance use and homelessness.
Earlier in her career she served over a decade as a medic and field training officer in emergency medical services, which informs her understanding of trauma and its effects. Sessions are offered in English and Swedish and Dr. Celosse is licensed as CA Psychologist 29839.
She works with adults facing a wide range of difficulties, and she accepts international clients for remote care. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her goal is to support clients as they identify goals, test new ways of coping, and build a workable path forward.
People who want straightforward, respectful guidance that connects therapy to daily life may find her approach helpful.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete tools to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early and current relationships shape reactions and sense of safety, and it can be helpful for attachment issues and relationship-related stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps in real life, making the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or health limitations. They also allow regular contact for check-ins and skills practice, so therapy can be adapted to how a person lives their day-to-day life.
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.
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.
