Karla Burgess is a licensed independent mental health practitioner based in Nebraska, holding the NE LIMHP 74 credential. She brings 21 years of experience working in both hospital settings and a private practice in a rural community, where being the area’s sole mental health practitioner broadened her exposure to a wide range of concerns.
Her clinical experience covers anxiety and depression, behavioral concerns, parenting challenges, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem difficulties, and coping with life changes. Time spent as a school counselor has made her comfortable supporting children, teens, and adults across developmental stages.
Karla centers her work on building a strong therapeutic relationship and uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches. She commonly draws from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a client-centered framework to guide goal-directed work and measurable progress.
Former and current clients describe her as kind, compassionate, caring, supportive, and empathetic. She regards the opportunity to join someone’s life as both a privilege and a responsibility, and she looks forward to helping people move past what is blocking their growth and happiness.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and adjusting to life changes - online therapy can be an effective option that aligns with traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the format that fits their routine and comfort level, whether that is video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it simpler to maintain regular appointments and integrate support into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if someone decides they need a different fit, switching therapists is an available option. By offering multiple ways to connect and experienced clinicians, online therapy can be a practical, accessible route to addressing everyday mental health concerns.
