Karey Thompson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed clinician in Ohio with 18 years of professional experience. I earned my Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University and spent the first 13 years of my career as a therapist in community mental health. During that time, I gained broad and diverse experience working with adults, adolescents, and families in both individual and group settings.

Much of my career has also been dedicated to supporting first responders, including providing Critical Incident Stress Debriefings, as well as working over the past five years with members of the Ohio Army National Guard. I have experience helping clients navigate stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

In addition to my clinical social work background, I am a 200-hour certified yoga instructor with specialized training in trauma-sensitive yoga and stand-up paddleboard yoga. I approach therapy through a holistic lens, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and honoring the full human experience—physical, emotional, relational, intellectual, and spiritual.

I believe in treating every person with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. Our work together will be collaborative, and I will tailor our conversations and treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I am honored to support you as you begin this journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions – online therapy can be an effective alternative to traditional in-person care. Research and clinical practice indicate that, for these typical issues, remote sessions often yield outcomes comparable to face-to-face therapy. One of the main benefits is convenience and flexibility. People can meet with therapists in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to keep regular appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life. All participating professionals are licensed, and individuals may choose to switch therapists at any time if they feel another provider would be a better fit. Online therapy can be a practical option for accessing professional help while balancing the demands of daily life.
