About Karin

Dr. Karin Celosse is a California psychologist who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, grief, and mood concerns. She speaks English and Swedish and brings a calm, direct style to sessions.

Her work aims to help people find clearer choices and move toward the life they want. She uses a client-centered, strengths-based approach that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on practical steps and insight - noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and trying new options.

Background and approach

She can gently challenge patterns while offering steady support and guidance. Her background includes seven years working as a psychologist and prior experience as a medic and field training officer in emergency medical services. That mix shaped her interest in trauma, addiction, and the effects of chronic medical conditions on mental health.

She has also worked in community mental health and forensic settings, including probation and state prison contexts. Dr. Celosse uses a range of approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, existential perspectives, and client-centered methods.

EMDR is listed among the modalities she uses. She also offers evaluation services when appropriate. Sessions are offered in several online formats.

People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine. Her aim is practical progress - helping people become less stuck and more able to make choices that match their values.

Online support

Approach-driven care in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy, and attachment-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Then she will collaborate with the person to try approaches that feel like the best fit and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quick way to check in, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
