About Patricia Karl
Patricia Karl is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 16 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Patricia often combines EMDR, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns, and life transitions. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing experiences to reduce their emotional intensity and support new, adaptive understanding. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and acceptance so clients can explore their values and discover internal resources at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals and therapists in multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - to make care more accessible and flexible. Remote options can fit busy schedules, reduce travel time, and help maintain continuity through life changes while preserving the therapeutic work started in sessions.
