Karlee practices as a licensed clinical social worker in New York and brings 11 years of professional experience to her work.
Background and approach
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address concerns like panic, obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, and specific fears including phobias. Her approach centers on clear goals and short-term strategies that people can try between sessions. She also supports people navigating relationship strain, blended family stress, caregiver burnout, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce.
Conversations often include communication skills, boundary-setting, and ways to manage control and attachment concerns. Karlee tailors her recommendations to the person in front of her rather than applying a single method to everyone. Sessions may address eating- and food-related struggles, seasonal mood shifts, and post-traumatic stress reactions using step-by-step techniques.
She explains options in simple language and works together with each person to pick what fits their life. The focus remains on small, practical changes that add up over time. Karlee aims to treat people with respect and compassion.
She encourages those seeking change to take manageable steps and offers support while they practice new skills and adjust to life’s challenges.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Karlee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and skills. One common approach emphasizes gradual exposure and skill building to reduce panic, phobias, and avoidance; this involves practicing facing fears in small, manageable steps while tracking progress. Another approach centers on behavioral and coping skills to manage mood and anxiety symptoms, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity-planning techniques to reduce intense feelings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Karlee collaborates with each person to identify goals, test different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She encourages a team approach where the person’s preferences and daily life guide treatment choices.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, while phone calls may be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support day-to-day coping, quick check-ins, or homework reminders between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and school routines.
