About Kari
Kari Trempler is a licensed professional counselor who brings 23 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, and a wide range of life transitions.
Background and approach
She works with issues such as parenting and family conflict, adoption and foster care matters, attachment and blended family concerns, body image and eating-related problems, ADHD, and caregiving stress. Kari also supports clients facing career questions, compassion fatigue, isolation, and questions of life purpose.
Her style centers on meeting clients where they are and collaborating to reach their goals. Kari emphasizes a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client guides the pace and direction while she offers tools, skills, and practical interventions.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside attachment-based and client-centered techniques, and she also uses EMDR and mindfulness methods when appropriate to address trauma and emotional regulation. Based in Missouri and licensed as an LPC (MO LPC 2020026574), Kari accepts English-speaking and international clients and offers flexible online formats to fit different routines and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns formed in close relationships and can help when family, adoption, or attachment issues influence current functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so that clients lead the work while the therapist offers support and practical tools.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time, blending modalities such as CBT, attachment-focused work, or mindfulness-based practices when those methods better serve a client’s goals.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support, skills training, and coping strategies without requiring an in-person visit, which can help maintain momentum between sessions and accommodate varied communication styles.
