About Karlee

Karlee Shave is a licensed master social worker in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and depression. Karlee also supports those coping with trauma, relationship struggles, and concerns around self-esteem and identity.

Karlee emphasizes a straightforward and adaptive style. She aims to build a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can name what feels hard. Sessions usually involve practical tools and steady conversation to make daily life feel more manageable.

Background and approach

Her work pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current reactions. That perspective helps when people are wrestling with abandonment, family of origin problems, or attachment issues that affect close relationships. Karlee blends client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral ideas.

That mix supports identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of behaving while keeping the person’s goals central to each session. She has experience supporting LGBTQ identified clients and people facing caregiving stress, body image concerns, dissociation, and other complex symptoms. Karlee aims to meet each person where they are and adapt her approach as needs change.

People can expect collaborative work focused on small, practical steps. Karlee describes the client as driving the process while she offers tools and guidance to navigate life’s hurdles.

Online support

Attachment-informed care and online therapy options

Karlee uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps when someone struggles with abandonment, family of origin issues, or ongoing patterns in close relationships.

She also incorporates client-centered work that keeps the person’s goals and experience at the center of each session. That means conversations and goals are guided by what the client wants to change or understand. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Karlee collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting over time as goals shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates and ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting sessions into work, school, or caregiving routines.
