Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Kari Perez and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland. I graduated from Loyola University with my Master’s in Science – Counseling Psychology in 2011. I started out working for four years in a long term residential facility for adults struggling with co-occurring addiction and mental health diagnosis. In this role, I have experience with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and helping work on life skills. After this, I moved to working with children and their families in home settings for several years. In this setting I developed the skills to work with the family unit as a whole. In family situations, I believe that whoever is being identified as the client with diagnosis is often just a piece in a larger dynamic. My goal is to try to support and address the family as a whole to help change the dynamic creating problematic symptoms.
I utilize a multi-modal approach, being able to pull from multiple theories to find the strategies that best fit the person and situation. My strongest belief in a therapeutic relationship is that the client is the expert in their experience and I am there as a partner to try to understand as best I can and provide support. I use my experience to help clients create and meet the goals they desire. I enjoy working with kids through adults who are looking for help becoming their best self.

Many people wonder whether receiving therapy online can truly help. For most common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the primary advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that feels most comfortable – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine.
All participating providers are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is desired a client may switch therapists at any time.
