Kari Regehr, LPC

Kari Regehr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She brings six years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and substance use concerns. Kari speaks plainly and offers steady support as people take the first steps toward change.

Kari keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of responding. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take small steps toward them.

People often come with relationship strain, grief, family-of-origin concerns, or struggles with intimacy and self-esteem. Kari helps them sort through emotional reactions, practice communication skills, and build coping strategies for hard moments. She also assists with anger, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is client-centered and mindful. Sessions emphasize listening, curiosity, and helping people find what works for their daily life. Solution-focused techniques are used when quick, practical changes are needed.

Kari offers several ways to connect, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She guides each person toward manageable goals and supports gradual progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

CBT helps people notice thinking patterns that lead to distress and practice alternative responses. In an online session this might mean tracking thoughts between meetings and reviewing simple experiments during video or text check-ins. ACT, or acceptance and commitment therapy, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kari will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean using CBT exercises for one concern and ACT strategies for another, or mixing client-centered listening with solution-focused tasks to keep progress practical.

Online formats give flexibility for fitting therapy into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face work on skills and role-play. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and pacing work through the week. These options make it easier to stay consistent and try approaches across everyday settings.
