About Kari
Kari Trempler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. She brings 23 years of experience in counseling-related work and focuses on practical ways to move forward. Her style is down-to-earth and centered on meeting each person where they are.
Kari emphasizes a nonjudgmental relationship. She listens first and follows the client's lead about what matters most. Sessions often focus on small, doable steps rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Clients can expect tools they can try between meetings. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. She has supported people coping with depression, addiction, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and sleep or eating concerns.
She also addresses intimacy, body image, and career or life-purpose questions. Kari uses cognitive behavioral methods as a foundation while drawing on attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, trauma-focused strategies, and EMDR when appropriate. She adapts her approach to what a person needs in the moment.
This flexible mix helps with both current problems and long-standing patterns. Kari works from Missouri and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and provides video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options.
Getting started is straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits your timing.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Kari uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on clear steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change daily habits. Attachment-based therapy is also part of her work and looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach can help with trust, intimacy-related issues, and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kari listens to your goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try together. She checks in and adapts the plan as progress or new challenges appear, so clients help shape each step.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to get consistent help while balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
