Karrie Kudrna Behrent, LPC - Therapist in Wisconsin

About Karrie

Karrie Kudrna Behrent is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and family concerns. Her work often focuses on communication problems, caregiver stress, relationship hurts, and issues tied to family of origin.

She uses a person-centered style that emphasizes compassion and collaboration. Sessions aim to build self-worth, reduce intense shame or guilt, and improve everyday coping.

Background and approach

Karrie listens, reflects, and helps people try tools that fit their life and goals. Karrie often supports people through life transitions such as postpartum depression and midlife change. She also helps those dealing with divorce, separation, and the aftermath of domestic violence.

Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common themes in her work. Her background includes focused experience with abandonment issues, body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, and commitment struggles. She works with people processing posttraumatic stress and panic-related symptoms, guiding them toward steadier routines and safer ways to respond to triggers.

Karrie practices from a trauma-informed perspective and aims to create a nonjudgmental space for growth. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to try small, manageable changes. If you want support sorting through family conflict, life transitions, or persistent anxiety, she helps people take the next steps.

To begin, she asks people to identify priorities and practical barriers so therapy fits daily life. Conversations in early sessions focus on what matters most now and which strategies are worth trying first.

Therapeutic approaches and finding the right fit online

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a person-centered, trauma-informed lens. Person-centered work focuses on listening closely and building on the client’s own strengths; it helps people clarify values, self-worth, and what they want to change. Trauma-informed strategies look at how past hurt affects present reactions and aim to create steadier ways to cope with triggers and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to current goals and daily life. Early sessions are used to identify priorities, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats with the therapist before booking since the biography does not list formats. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care during life transitions or when managing chronic health issues. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt therapeutic techniques for remote or in-person work to keep sessions practical and focused on real-life changes.
