About Karin
Dr. Karin Celosse is a California-based psychologist who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or depression. She speaks English and Swedish and brings seven years of clinical experience to each session.
She meets people where they are and works with them to find practical steps forward. She favors a client-centered, strengths-based style that treats the person as the expert in their life. Sessions focus on identifying what is getting in the way, and then trying small, doable changes to move toward goals.

She can gently challenge stuck patterns while offering steady support and clear feedback. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, substance use, mood disorders, sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar conditions.
She also works with people facing abandonment, attachment challenges, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and the psychological impacts of cancer or major life events. Dr. Celosse draws from Narrative approaches along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
She appreciates practical tools like motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when they fit the person’s goals. She has experience in community mental health, forensic settings, and emergency medical services, which informs her understanding of trauma and reintegration challenges.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Dr. Celosse uses Narrative Therapy to help people re-story difficult experiences, letting them separate themselves from painful labels and see different possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice tough thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can reduce the time spent avoiding life goals.Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her approach, focusing on how relationships and early patterns influence current behavior and helping people build more satisfying ways of relating. Together these approaches offer both meaning-focused and action-focused tools for issues like trauma, anxiety, addiction, and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their aims, values, and comfort level. That choice may shift as progress unfolds, and she adapts strategies accordingly.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different formats as needs change.
