About Kari

Kari Conyers-Brink is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of experience helping people facing common life stresses. She focuses on practical support for anxiety, stress, depression, anger, and changes that feel overwhelming. Kari aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they take steps toward feeling better.

Her approach begins with listening. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation instead of following a one-size-fits-all script. That means setting goals together and working at a pace that feels manageable.

Kari uses methods from client-centered work, so the person’s own goals guide sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps that move things forward.

She has supported people with a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, self-esteem, career stress, and panic disorder and panic attacks. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.

Kari works collaboratively to empower people to try new coping skills, practice them between meetings, and adjust plans when needed. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people build tools they can use outside of sessions.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what the person says and helps them clarify goals and values. It is useful when someone wants a respectful space to talk through what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thought patterns and behaviors that make problems worse. The work often includes simple exercises and experiments to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and low mood.

Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical changes clients can make right away. Sessions often identify achievable steps and build on what already works in a person's life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can involve mixing elements from different approaches and adjusting methods over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or meet when work or childcare limits in-person options. Confirm the current session options before booking to know exactly which formats are offered.
