About Karin
Dr. Karin Celosse greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally worn out. She encourages straightforward conversation and helps people name what is getting in the way of daily life.
Dr. Celosse aims to work alongside each person to find practical steps that fit their values and goals. She is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 29839) with seven years of experience.
Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as sleep problems, eating issues, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also works with people facing long-term health challenges and mood disorders like bipolar disorder. Her style is rooted in client-centered care that builds on a person’s strengths. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Existential ideas, and other supportive techniques.
Sessions involve listening, gentle challenge, and practical steps to change patterns that no longer serve the client. Dr. Celosse has experience in community mental health and forensic settings, and has worked with people experiencing substance use challenges, severe and persistent mental illness, homelessness, and post-incarceration reintegration.
Before her mental health career she worked for many years as an emergency medical services medic and field training officer, which informs her understanding of trauma and stress. She offers services from California and communicates in English and Swedish. International clients are accepted.
The therapy process begins by choosing a plan, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling sessions according to her availability.

Approach-driven care available online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and long-term patterns that get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers skills for changing those patterns to reduce symptoms such as low mood, worry, and sleep disruption. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with issues around trust, closeness, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs, and will recommend or combine methods based on what fits best. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust course as progress is observed.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls can fit into tight schedules or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into real life while keeping a focus on practical tools and progress.
