01About Karla
Karla Brockman is a Kansas-based counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Karla holds the KS LCPC credential, and she brings 35 years of experience in community mental health to her work.

Background and approach
Sessions often focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, building small skills, and setting realistic goals to improve day-to-day life. Karla has a long history helping people through trauma, loss, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, and identity concerns related to LGBT issues.
Many clients come for help with sleep, eating, anger, or coping when life feels overwhelming. In meetings she aims to be warm and supportive while keeping work focused on concrete outcomes. Clients leave with an action plan tailored to their goals.
She encourages steps that fit into typical routines so progress can happen between sessions. Her background in community mental health means she is familiar with a wide range of challenges and practical barriers to care. That experience shapes how she structures sessions and suggests resources.
Karla welcomes questions and works collaboratively to find what helps most.

Therapeutic approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes because it focuses on small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. If one way isn't helping, she can mix in different techniques so the plan stays practical and flexible.
Online formats make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter or simpler check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, coping skills practice, or people who prefer typed communication. These options let people connect from wherever is most convenient and maintain momentum between sessions.
