More about Karin

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW, LMSW

I am licensed clinical social worker licensed in in Michigan and Wisconsin with over 10 years of experience working in clinical practice. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including grief, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also worked with many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive, I tend to be direct in a way that meets your needs. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, developmental and dialectical behavioral therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed June 2026

Karin has been a joy to talk to. She has already helped to see things differently and ask the important questions. I feel that she respects me, listens to me and tries to understand me. She makes me feel safe, un-judged, and comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy. You can tell she practices with experience, and strategy.
