About Kari
Kari Dry is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, or struggles with addiction. She emphasizes a practical, strengths-focused way of working and encourages people to trust their own knowledge about what they need.
Kari believes the first step takes courage, and she aims to make the next steps clearer and more manageable. Sessions focus on identifying what’s getting in the way and building small, concrete skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She works at a steady, respectful pace tailored to each person’s needs.
Her practice also addresses related concerns such as caregiver stress, codependency, isolation and loneliness, infidelity, and blended family issues. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide problem solving, emotional regulation, and behavior change. The goal is to create strategies that can be used outside sessions.
Clients can expect direct conversation and practical tools rather than long lectures. Kari listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people experiment with different responses. She supports people as they try new approaches and notice what works.
In sessions she centers the client’s priorities and adapts work to their pace. She offers support while helping people rebuild confidence and find clearer choices for their life.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps people can use between sessions. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches ways to manage strong emotions and reduce anxiety through simple exercises and behavioral changes. This helps when stress or panic get in the way of daily life. Another frequently used approach is problem-focused work that looks at patterns in relationships and behavior and experiments with different responses to break unhelpful cycles. That kind of work is helpful for codependency, relationship strain, and recurring conflict.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns and together you will decide which techniques to try first. Changes are tested in small steps so you can see what helps and adjust as needed. The process is paced to match personal comfort and goals.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer sessions that do not require video, while others like the visual connection; the therapist can discuss what will fit your needs and routines.
