Great work with me - thank you Joel

Reviewed June 2021

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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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.
