About Kari
Kari Trempler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She brings 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and grief. Kari supports those facing trauma, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
She focuses on meeting people where they are and following each person's pace. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Kari listens without judgment and offers tools that clients can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Her style is grounded in cognitive behavioral ideas while also drawing on attachment work, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods when helpful. She adapts the approach to each person rather than using one fixed method. That lets her address things like forgiveness, control issues, impulsivity, and caregiver stress in concrete ways.
Kari has worked with adoption and foster care topics, blended family issues, body image, and attachment concerns. She also supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, eating and sleeping issues, and career or life-purpose questions. Her sessions emphasize clear steps and real skills.
Expect conversations that identify patterns, try small experiments, and build new coping habits. Clients often leave with specific ideas to practice between appointments.

How Kari’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. Online sessions look at how past hurt or bonding experiences affect present reactions and relationships, and then build new, more helpful ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In remote sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small experiments between meetings, and tracking changes over time to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches basic attention and grounding practices. These skills help manage stress, impulsivity, and strong emotions and are easy to practice in short moments throughout the day. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what works. Clients help decide which ideas to focus on and what tools feel most useful. Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to keep progress consistent while fitting therapy into day-to-day routines.Questions people ask about Kari
