Kari Dry

Kari Dry is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, and effects of trauma and abuse. She centers her work on each person’s strengths and choices. Taking a first step toward change can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady support through that process.

She believes people are the experts on their own stories and draws on practical strategies to build on existing strengths. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what feels most useful in daily life. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and develop healthier patterns of coping.

Kari also works with concerns related to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and problems tied to addiction or domestic violence. She addresses feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation, and issues around trust or commitment in relationships. The focus is on concrete changes clients can use between sessions.

Her way of working is collaborative. She listens for each person’s values and priorities, and then helps set small, realistic goals. Over time she checks progress and adjusts the plan to fit what’s working. This practical approach is intended to help clients find more consistent relief and clearer choices.

Sessions are offered in English, and she can work with international clients. People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Many of Kari’s sessions use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One helpful approach emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and stress by teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral changes that reduce daily overwhelm. This approach fits people who want tools to manage symptoms between sessions.

Another common approach focuses on addressing patterns that keep people stuck in relationships or addictive behaviors. This involves identifying unhelpful habits, trying new responses, and practicing small changes that improve decision-making and connection. It is useful for relationship concerns, substance issues, and problems like codependency or control struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to your needs, goals, and preferences and then recommends techniques to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and adjusted as progress is tracked.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and goals so sessions feel practical and manageable.
