Kari Regehr, LPC

Kari Regehr is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, and struggles with addiction. Kari aims to make the first step feel easier and affirms the courage it takes to reach out for support.

Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward. She creates a calm space where thoughts and everyday habits can be talked through without judgment. Sessions center on the issues you bring - from relationship and family strains to grief, parenting challenges, or trouble with self-esteem and anger.

Kari uses practical approaches that help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thinking, and she uses client-centered listening to focus on each person's goals. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are woven in to support coping and short-term progress.

She has experience working with adults who have complex presentations, including personality and behavioral disorders, severe mood concerns, and phobias. That background informs her pacing and how she matches strategies to what each person needs in the room.

If you are managing life changes, compassion fatigue, or issues tied to family of origin, Kari helps people break concerns into manageable steps. The work often involves noticing thought patterns, practicing new responses, and setting small goals that fit everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while choosing actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and problems tied to avoidance of painful feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit change. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and responding to what each person brings; it helps people feel heard and clarifies personal goals.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the process. Kari will work together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can use these options to focus on changing thought patterns, building coping habits, and tracking small, achievable goals.
