About Karin
Dr. Karin Celosse greets people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out with calm, steady support. She identifies small, practical steps clients can take to feel less lost and more able to move forward.
Dr. Celosse encourages people to use their own strengths as the basis for change and helps them build a path they can follow. She uses a client-centered style that emphasizes listening first and working at the person’s pace.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying thoughts, habits, and situations that get in the way. Dr. Celosse will gently challenge unhelpful patterns and help clients try different choices that align with their goals.
Her work often addresses anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and the effects of chronic illness. She also supports people dealing with sleep or eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and issues linked to attachment or abandonment. She speaks English and Swedish and sees clients in California as a licensed psychologist.
Over seven years she has worked across community mental health and forensic settings, and with people who have had substance use challenges or unstable housing. That background informs how she talks about trauma, coping, and returning to everyday life after difficult experiences. In sessions she draws on approaches such as Attachment-based therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and person-centered methods.
The goal is practical change: clearer choices, fewer dead ends, and a step-by-step plan clients feel able to follow.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Celosse frequently uses Attachment-based therapy to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape current behavior and feelings. This approach can help when someone struggles with abandonment, attachment concerns, or repeated relationship stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when clients want a practical way to move forward despite uncomfortable emotions.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and together they will pick methods that feel like a good fit. That process may shift as work progresses, and adjustments are expected and welcome.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between scheduled sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy or changing schedules.
