About Kari
Kari Wright is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as grief, loss, depression, trauma, parenting concerns, and stress. Kari also addresses addictions, anxiety, relationship strain, and a wide range of life changes and coping challenges.
Kari typically uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. She listens for what matters most to each person and offers clear feedback. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through past events that still cause distress.
She describes therapy as a partnership. Kari aims to understand what a person is saying, validate their experience, and help them consider different perspectives. She notes that religion may come up only if clients want it included and that she does not provide exclusively Christian counseling.
Her experience also covers topics like parenting, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and caregiving stress. Other areas she addresses include ADHD, body image, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and aging-related concerns. She works with people facing both everyday pressures and deeper traumatic experiences.
Kari conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kari commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to see if they reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. EMDR addresses distress linked to traumatic memories through structured processing aimed at reducing their intensity.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and build motivation for change, for example around addictions or lifestyle adjustments. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods over time rather than sticking to a single technique.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, or reduce travel time. If you want to include religious perspectives in sessions, mention that at the start so it can be integrated when requested.
