About Kari

Kari Regehr is an LPC practicing in Alabama who brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and struggles with addiction. Kari aims to make starting therapy easier and affirms the courage it takes to reach out.

In sessions she focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can name what they are feeling. She uses concrete tools people can try between meetings, including skills drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness practice. She also helps clients clarify values and small steps toward goals using acceptance and commitment ideas.

Kari has worked with people facing severe mood and behavior challenges, including personality and behavioral disorders. That experience informs how she plans for safety, structure, and steady progress with each person. She listens for patterns in how thoughts and relationships affect daily life, then helps clients try different ways of responding.

Many people see Kari for relationship difficulties, parenting stress, grief, anger, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also notes an interest in aging and geriatric issues and can address concerns that come with life transitions. Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on doable changes rather than abstract theory.

Overall, Kari aims to be a steady partner in change. She works with clients to set clear, realistic goals and to track small wins over time. If you want straightforward, skills-based help with emotional or behavioral challenges, she can be a collaborative option.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and relies on listening, empathy, and collaboration to help clients find their own direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kari will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She commonly mixes skills-based work with reflective, values-focused conversations so the plan evolves from session to session.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins on a day with limited time. It can also let people try exercises such as mindfulness practice and behavioral experiments from their daily routines, which helps generalize new skills into everyday life.
