About Kari
Kari Dry is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Kari works with adults who want clearer coping skills and steadier day-to-day routines.
She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Kari helps people name what is happening, try new ways of responding, and track small changes over time.
Much of her work addresses tangled relationships and the fallout from trauma. That includes support for people navigating blended family issues, codependency, infidelity, and the emotional effects of caregiving or isolation. She also draws on her experience with substance use and domestic violence concerns.
Kari favors methods that produce observable shifts in mood and behavior. In a session she might practice new communication skills, rehearse different reactions, or set short experiments to try between meetings. She aims to make steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Her approach stays focused on current problems and practical coping. She checks in about progress and adjusts plans when needed. People who prefer clear goals and step-by-step work often find this style helpful.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Kari uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on building practical coping skills. Cognitive-behavioral style methods help people notice thought patterns, test them, and try alternative responses to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These techniques are useful for stress, anxiety, and depression as well as many relationship tensions.She also draws on behavioral strategies that set small, achievable tasks between sessions. This might include brief experiments, tracking reactions to situations, or rehearsing new communication moves. Those tools are often helpful for addictions, codependency, and managing caregiving strain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that match everyday needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays practical and relevant to current challenges.
