About Karin
Dr. Karin Celosse is a California-based psychologist who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She brings a calm, practical style and encourages people to name what matters to them.
Her tone is gentle but direct, and she aims to help clients find manageable steps forward. Dr. Celosse takes a client-centered approach that focuses on each person’s strengths and values.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people see what is getting in the way of their goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through day-to-day patterns, testing small changes, and building on what already works. Her background includes seven years as a practicing psychologist and earlier work as an emergency medic and field training officer. That experience informs her understanding of trauma and stress that come from high-demand jobs and crisis situations.
She has also worked in community mental health and forensic settings. Dr. Celosse draws on a mix of methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Existential approaches, and client-centered therapy.
She adapts techniques to fit what a client prefers and what helps them reach their goals. She can also discuss living-with-medical-condition concerns and substance use questions. She holds the credential CA Psychologist 29839 and practices from California.
Sessions are offered in English and Swedish, and she accepts international clients. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about their values and take small, committed steps toward them even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that recur despite trying harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and attachment needs, helping people understand how early bonds influence how they relate and parent today.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s pace and adjust as progress and priorities change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for busy days. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief reflections, progress notes, or when a flexible, text-first option fits a parent’s schedule.
