About Kari
Kari Mackneer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 25 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, sleep and eating problems, and related challenges. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, substance use, codependency, and body image struggles.
Kari uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered listening so people can speak about what matters to them and feel understood in the moment.
Dialectical behavior strategies are part of her toolbox when emotions feel overwhelming. Those skills help with managing strong feelings and improving how someone copes day to day. Mindfulness approaches are used to build calm attention and reduce repeated worry or rumination.
Kari tailors her work to each person’s goals and needs. She talks through achievable steps and focuses on what can change in daily life. She aims to make sessions practical and focused on problem solving rather than lecturing.
Clients can expect straightforward collaboration about goals, what to try between sessions, and regular review of progress. She accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, people follow the site’s booking flow and schedule an initial session after a short matching questionnaire.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Kari frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going, and then tests small changes to see what helps. DBT teaches concrete coping skills for intense emotions and for improving how someone handles stress and relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will ask about goals, current struggles, and what methods feel most useful. That lets her and the client try an approach and adjust it based on what actually helps in daily life.
The listing does not name specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Many people find remote work helps them try skills between meetings and apply changes in the places they live and work.
