About Karla
Karla Brockman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 35 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life changes in straightforward, practical ways. Karla aims to be warm, interactive, and supportive during sessions.
She has spent most of her career in community mental health settings, working with people facing a wide range of concerns. That background means she is used to breaking things into concrete steps and action plans that fit real life.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at identifying what matters to the person and finding small, doable changes that help reduce distress. Karla primarily uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and how changing one part can help the rest. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy when those approaches fit the goals.
This mix lets her match techniques to each person's needs. Her practice pays attention to common struggles such as relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family-of-origin concerns, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to trauma or loss. Karla aims to help people develop clear, achievable plans and practice new skills between sessions.
She works from Kansas and offers services in English. People who want to try online work can expect practical guidance, collaborative planning, and a focus on steps that make daily life more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters, even when difficult feelings are present. It’s useful for stress, grief, and managing ongoing emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns.Karla approaches treatment collaboratively. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions, and adjustments are made as progress and feedback indicate what works best.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills together. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limits while still getting guided support and a clear action plan.
