More about Karl
- 10 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in youth, adolescent, adult, couples, and family counseling. I have been practicing for over ten years.
I currently work with clients who are wanting to gain a better approach to their life while going through difficulties with transitions, addictions, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and/or life rediscoveries, such as motivation for positive change in their day to day lives.
My training, education, and experience in counseling have provided me with a strong background in individual, couples, and family therapy.
The therapeutic approach is both interactive and collaborative, allowing, the client to have an individualized experience. I specialize in addictions, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relational issues, and stress management.
Regardless of the situation I have always provided my clients with the highest quality of care and treatment, treating them with the utmost respect, integrity, and empathy. Encouraging my clients to move towards behavioral transformations without fear or apprehensions. As a result, my clients will gain a positive outlook and adopt new attitudes and positive reactions within their lives.
I use an integrated approach and do not believe in a one size fits all model, we are all uniquely different and because of this I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, be proud of yourself for getting started!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
