About Karrie
Karrie Kudrna Behrent is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and family concerns. She also helps people who are managing trauma and abuse related issues and the ripple effects of those experiences.
Karrie focuses on practical, moment-to-moment work in sessions. She talks with clients about communication problems, family-of-origin issues, and patterns that repeat in relationships. Conversations often include handling guilt, shame, abandonment, and feelings of emptiness. She also addresses concrete problems like caregiver stress, chronic illness impact, and workplace strain.
Her style is person-centered and trauma-informed, which means she aims to listen closely and adapt to how a person responds. Sessions typically include talking through recent events, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small, doable changes between meetings. She works with people dealing with divorce, separation, infidelity, and commitment worries as part of relationship-focused concerns.
Karrie supports practical skills for anxiety and panic, and she helps people consider how body image or impulsivity affect daily life. She pays attention to the ways early family roles and expectations continue to shape choices now. Session work can include processing past hurts and building clearer communication strategies.
She practices in Wisconsin and carries the LPC credential. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short questionnaire is completed before scheduling the first session.
Approaches used and how online sessions are handled
Two common evidence-based techniques she uses are straightforward trauma-informed care and person-centered methods. Trauma-informed care means noticing how past events affect current reactions and helping a person learn to tolerate and name difficult feelings; it can help with panic, posttraumatic stress, and ongoing anxiety. Person-centered methods focus on the person's own goals and pace, using reflective listening and questions to clarify what matters and what practical next steps could be useful.She views choosing a method as a collaborative process. The therapist and client assess which approaches fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust as progress is made. The plan can change if a different method seems more helpful over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let people connect from different locations within the same time zone and support steady work on family-of-origin patterns, communication skills, anxiety management, and caregiver stress without needing to rearrange a full day.
