About Karla
Karla Stewart is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 20 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, family conflict, and major life changes. Her background includes supporting people affected by adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, and caregiver burden.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to change unhelpful patterns. That can mean practicing new ways to set limits, naming harmful dynamics, or making plans to reduce alcohol or drug use. She also helps people who are coping with divorce, separation, or the effects of domestic violence.
Karla draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She combines these methods to address impulsivity, control issues, communication problems, and dependent personality traits. Expect work on thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments to test different ways of responding.
Her experience includes supporting first responders and people navigating prejudice or discrimination. Sessions aim to rebuild self-worth and practical coping skills rather than quick fixes. People leave with specific tools to try between sessions and clearer ideas about next steps.
She practices in Oklahoma and offers services in English. Prospective clients are asked to review session options and scheduling details before booking a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful when someone wants to stop getting stuck in people-pleasing or to act differently around a drinking partner. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns. It is useful for low self-esteem, impulsivity, and reducing cravings or avoidance. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment to steps like reducing substance use.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, preferences, and practical needs. Sessions can mix techniques so clients learn skills, practice experiments, and review what worked between meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people try exercises and role-plays from their everyday settings, making practice feel more immediately relevant.
