Karrie Kudrna Behrent, LPC

Karrie Kudrna Behrent is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience helping people through anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and ADHD. She supports those coping with family conflict, communication problems, relationship strains, and the emotional fallout of divorce or infidelity. Karrie emphasizes practical, everyday steps that make feelings easier to manage.

Karrie uses a compassionate, collaborative style. She aims to meet each person where they are and build trust through steady, respectful conversation. Sessions focus on clear goals, small behavior changes, and ways to reduce overwhelming feelings in daily life.

Her work includes helping people with body image, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. She also supports caregivers dealing with chronic stress, and people living with chronic pain, illness, or disability as they adjust to ongoing health challenges.

Karrie has experience guiding people through life transitions such as postpartum depression and midlife shifts. She helps clients sort family-of-origin issues, process trauma and domestic violence, and rebuild after relationship breaks.

In sessions she keeps language plain and actionable. People can expect a mix of practical strategies, opportunity to reflect, and patience while new habits form. Karrie works in Wisconsin and conducts therapy in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include straightforward, skill-based work aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning. One common approach focuses on helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and coping; this can help with anxiety, panic-related problems, and low mood. Another approach emphasizes safety and gradual processing for people who have experienced trauma, using careful pacing to reduce overwhelm while working through distressing memories.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together the client and therapist can try methods and adjust them over time to find what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require a brief pause. It can also offer continuity of care when life, health, or location make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt techniques so skills can be practiced between sessions and applied in everyday life.
