Background and approach
She has also worked with first responders and with members of the Ohio Army National Guard. Her approach blends body-focused work with talk therapy. She uses somatic practices to help people notice how stress shows up in their bodies.
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. Mindfulness and client-centered methods help people build awareness and make choices that fit their life. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person.
Karey listens for strengths and practical steps that reduce overwhelm. She also attends to grief, caregiver strain, and issues like codependency, control, jealousy, and shame. Karey offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How somatic and relational approaches work online
Somatic work invites attention to how tension and emotion show up in the body. Online sessions can include guided noticing of breath, posture, and simple movement to help reduce physical stress and increase self-awareness. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions and communication. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship that centers the person's goals and strengths.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. From there, she will tailor sessions and suggest exercises or practices that fit the client's life and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let people work face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging suit those who prefer shorter check-ins or find written communication easier. These options make regular work on stress, relationships, and self-awareness more achievable for people with limited time or mobility.
