Hello!
My name is Karyl, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for help with personal matters. It would be my privilege to walk with you as you navigate through life's challenges.
I have experience working with adults struggling with various issues such as depression, anxiety, obsessions/compulsions, post-traumatic stress, substance abuse, mania, hoarding, and dissociation related to traumatic events. I have worked with people of various backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders, religions, and cultures. I care about what is difficult in your life and want to help with finding relief.
My counseling style is warm, attentive and non-judgmental. I work from a psychodynamic perspective which means I understand how past trauma and current stressors can impact daily life and relationships. I also utilize cognitive therapy which is a way to discover how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. I have experience working with those struggling with past trauma and abuse and am trauma informed in my counseling.
I would love working with you and look forward to meeting you.

Karyl's feedback and time has been invaluable. She professional, kind and generous with her advice. She doesn't force any way of action or thought onto me, but instead listens and offers feedback based on what she hears. I am very satisfied and thankful for my sessions with Karyl.

Karyl is the therapist I have been searching for my entire life. No other therapist has ever offered such consistent care and respect for me and my issues. Her wide range of expertise was something that drew me to her, and I am happy to report that she really means business. Karyl Baker has guided me through years of changes and I owe so much to this woman. She has saved my life in more ways than one.

Karyl is the best therapist I have ever had! She is incredibly supportive and has helped me through some difficult times. She has also shared tons of knowledge about certain topics I am struggling with. She not only listens to me, but she offers real solutions to real problems in my life! I absolutely adore our time together and I suggest anyone who is considering her for their therapist to go for it!

I am ever appreciative of Karyl. I haven’t had the privilege of feeling so heard and understood in a long while. She is very compassionate and a good listener. She offers good perspectives on my situation and affirms me and my feelings. She always responds to me in a timely manner and encouraged me to write in my journal so we can dissect necessary topics in our next session. Thank you, sincerely.

Karl had helped me work through so many anxiety related issues. Karly wasn’t my first therapist on Better Help but she’s been a great match and I can see this being a long term therapist-patient relationship

I tend to roam and wander in my thoughts and texts, but Karyl focuses me back on task. It's the discipline I don't have and I am very happy I reached out for help; I don't think I could have made it to where I feel so much better without her help.

Karyl is so patient and kind. She really gives you space to speak whatever is on your mind. I started seeing Karyl during a really difficult time in my life. She gently checked in with me every week and reminded me that I'm not alone. If you're looking for someone with a gentle approach, I highly recommend Karyl!

Karyl has been my therapist for a little over a year now. In that time, I have blossomed greatly. I was deeply depressed, about as far in as someone with a job outside the home can be. While it's not all sunshine and rainbows now, it definitely is a hell of a lot brighter than I would have gotten on my own without her help. She helped me see some of my tics that I wasn't even aware I had- and all without judgement. She truly is the best therapist I have had.

Karyl has been my counselor for just under a year, and I feel like my mental and emotional health has improved over that time. I had tried counseling before, but I never really felt entirely comfortable, but Karyl did a great job of making me feel more comfortable, and I feel like I was able to express myself fully with her. I would definitely recommend her to a friend.
