About Karly
Karly Shreders is a Florida LMHC with 19 years of clinical experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and stress. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her work also addresses related issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems.
She frames conversations around what is happening now and how patterns from childhood and family of origin can still shape everyday choices. Sessions focus on identifying repeated roles and expectations learned growing up. The aim is to make small, concrete changes people can try between appointments.
Her style is faith-sensitive and collaborative. She talks with clients about coping strategies, ways to change unhelpful thinking, and how to repair strained relationships. Practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress are common parts of the work.
Karly has supported people through life transitions from young adulthood to midlife concerns. She also helps those dealing with chronic health or caregiving responsibilities, and people processing adoption or foster care histories. She avoids labels and centers discussion on current functioning and goals.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Two evidence-based techniques she commonly uses are cognitive strategies and skills-based coping. Cognitive strategies involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments; they help with anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem issues. Skills-based coping focuses on breathing, grounding, scheduling, and communication skills to manage stress and relationship conflicts.She also integrates attention to family of origin and attachment patterns. That work looks at roles and expectations learned in childhood and how they affect current relationships and decisions. Together the therapist and client review what fits, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on the client’s goals and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between other obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for a video or phone visit, or suggest short focused check-ins when time is limited.
