About Kari

Kari Fenton is a licensed mental health counselor who has spent 13 years supporting people through difficult life moments. She practices in Nebraska and offers a straightforward, compassionate approach for those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. Kari focuses on helping people who are processing trauma, wrestling with relationship and intimacy questions, or exploring sexuality and identity.

Her work is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions are a place to talk through what’s happening now, learn simple coping tools, and practice new ways of relating.

Background and approach

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people name emotions and deepen understanding of their patterns. Kari also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to support people in clarifying values and building self-compassion. Narrative and trauma-focused ideas inform how she helps clients make sense of past experiences and their impact on the present.

The mix of methods is chosen to fit each person’s needs rather than follow a single script. She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, compassion fatigue, family problems, codependency, polyamory and kink-related issues, and sexual health questions.

Kari pays attention to how shame, guilt, and dissociation can affect daily life and relationships, and she helps people develop steadier coping strategies. People who come to Kari can expect a nonjudgmental, affirming space to explore difficult feelings and try new behaviors. The emphasis is on building resilience, clearer communication, and more satisfying connections in the life someone wants to lead.

Online support

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name their core emotions and attachment needs. In sessions that use this approach, the focus is on understanding emotional experiences and how those feelings shape interactions and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer direction in life.

The right approach is discovered together. Kari will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She mixes methods as needed and checks in regularly to make sure the work feels useful and relevant to the person’s daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
