About Karrie
Karrie Kudrna Behrent is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with seven years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and concerns around family and relationships. Karrie also focuses on guilt and shame, forgiveness, and body image concerns.
She uses a person-centered, trauma-informed style. Sessions are conversational and grounded in practical steps. Karrie helps people talk through family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and the aftermath of separation or infidelity.
Clients come for help with life transitions such as postpartum depression and midlife questions. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment. Karrie works with people processing domestic violence and posttraumatic stress, using steady pacing and attention to safety.
Her work often focuses on rebuilding self-worth and sorting through guilt and shame that linger after difficult events. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and weigh what matters most to them. Conversations include practical skills for anxiety, planning for big decisions, and clearer communication.
Karrie asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set realistic, short-term goals. She encourages gentle experiments between sessions so people can test new ways of relating to themselves and others. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
Approaches and how online sessions are handled
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address common problems like anxiety, trauma responses, and relationship difficulties. One approach focuses on person-centered work where conversations explore what matters to the client and build on their strengths. This helps when someone feels overwhelmed or stuck and wants clearer next steps.Another strand of work is trauma-informed care. This involves pacing sessions to match a person's tolerance, naming how past events affect present feelings, and developing coping skills for distress. That approach is often used when people bring posttraumatic stress, domestic violence history, or intense shame and guilt.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different ways of working and adjusting plans as progress and needs become clearer.
