About Karla
She uses practical, person-focused methods rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions center on what the person needs right now, and tools are chosen to match those goals. Karla draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, plus skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and hypnotherapy when helpful.
Her work often addresses grief, trauma and abuse, sleep disruption, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, cancer or hospice concerns, fertility and caregiver stress, and body image or shame issues. Communication, commitment, and control struggles are common topics in sessions.
Karla communicates in both English and Spanish. She sees clients who live in Colorado and works to help each person set clear, achievable goals. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, focusing on small steps that fit into daily life.
People meet her to talk through immediate problems and to build longer term coping skills. She starts by understanding each person's situation, then tailors tools and homework to support steady progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors that lead to better mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karla will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can combine techniques so that practical skills and personal values guide the plan.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a tight schedule, or offering a quieter setting with fewer distractions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT or CBT exercises for remote meetings so people practice skills between sessions and track progress over time.
