Joel quickly got to the crux of issues regarding my familial anger and alienation and the differences and difficulties I have with expressing my thoughts and feelings to others whose personalities and preferences differ from mine. He asked me to think about and apply a technique to avoid some of the pitfalls with identifying situations where I can communicate more effectively with people in my life whose emotional sensitivities differ from mine.

I am very interested in helping you find relief. Whether it is a feeling of powerlessness, or feeling stuck I am interested in getting it resolved painlessly and easily. When previous disturbing experiences continue to cause problematic sensations and thoughts, I can resolve that as well without re-living it. To this end, I am certified and use Rapid Resolution Therapy (R) Created by Dr. Jon Connelly.
As a parenting expert, I can help parents feel unstuck, empowered, and effective very quickly. I am effective with children of any age. As an expert in resolving the effects of past disturbing and traumatic experiences, I take responsibility in causing resolution eliminating problematic sensations, feelings, and thoughts.
Consider allowing me an opportunity to help in a comfortable non-judgmental environment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great work with me - thank you Joel
Joel quickly got to the crux of issues regarding my familial anger and alienation and the differences and difficulties I have with expressing my thoughts and feelings to others whose personalities and preferences differ from mine. He asked me to think about and apply a technique to avoid some of the pitfalls with identifying situations where I can communicate more effectively with people in my life whose emotional sensitivities differ from mine.
Mr. Karr listened to my concerns and helped me think about them in different ways. He provided me with some tools to work through lingering issues and to use in the future. I would highly recommend Mr. Karr and would not hesitate to reach out to him in the future.
