About Kari Wright

Kari Wright is a licensed social worker who opens her profile with gratitude for visitors and recognition of the courage it takes to seek support. She presents herself as a clinician who walks alongside clients as they share their lives, aiming to create a welcoming space where people can begin to feel better.

In her formal work she draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and EMDR - evidence-informed methods used to address thoughts, behaviors, motivation, and traumatic memories. She brings particular experience with grief, loss, depression, and trauma, while remaining willing to explore whatever concerns a client brings. Kari is comfortable working with both adults and children.

Informally, she emphasizes careful listening, clear understanding, validation, and constructive feedback while exploring different perspectives. Kari describes therapy as a collaborative process that requires effort from both the clinician and the client to find the right path forward. She also notes that she is a Christian clinician but does not provide faith-based counseling exclusively and will not raise religious topics unless a client wants to include them.

Kari holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. She invites questions and welcomes the opportunity to speak with prospective clients about whether her approach might be a fit.
