Find a licensed online therapist in Lyons, GA

I am a licensed professional counselor and certified sex therapist with 10 years of licensure experience. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, I work with a diverse range of clients across the United States and internationally through BetterHelp and my independent virtual practice. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome individuals and partners of all identities, orientations, cultures, and relationship structures. My practice is centered on human experiences and the relationships that shape our lives. Healthy relationships can be difficult to build and maintain, whether they involve partners, spouses, parents, children, family members, or other important connections. I help clients strengthen communication, increase understanding, address sexual concerns, and identify barriers that may be preventing them from creating healthier and more fulfilling lives. I believe our past influences our present, often in ways we do not immediately recognize. Therapy is not about identifying another person’s flaws or trying to force someone else to change. It is an opportunity to understand ourselves more fully, take accountability for our choices, develop grace for our current circumstances and for others, consider how those circumstances may be affecting the people around us, and recognize that there is no single prescribed way to build a meaningful life or relationship. My approach is direct, empathetic, and grounded in fairness and accountability. I provide a supportive space while also encouraging honest reflection and meaningful action. Together, we will examine recurring patterns, clarify your needs and values, and develop a practical plan for growth. My niche areas of focus include relationship and communication concerns, sexual health and sexual functioning, intimacy, alternative and nontraditional relationships, anger management, and substance use assessments. My goal is straightforward: to help people become healthier individuals and create relationships in which they can communicate honestly, find common ground, and experience greater connection and happiness.

🌿 About Me I am a seasoned holistic psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience supporting individuals on their healing journeys. My life has been shaped by rich cross-cultural experiences—growing up in the indigenous community of Mizoram, India, later living in Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Saskatoon), and now rooted in the United States. This multicultural background allows me to meet each person with cultural sensitivity, openness, and deep respect for their unique life story. My work is informed by both extensive western psychological training and eastern spiritual practices. While traditional talk therapy can be valuable, I believe lasting healing often involves engaging the body as well as the mind. As a certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher and Reiki Master, I integrate somatic and mindfulness-based practices such as breathwork, yoga, guided meditation, journaling, movement, and mindfulness into my work. These approaches can help regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and support emotional balance, resilience, and self-awareness. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, addiction, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach encourages clients to reconnect with themselves, explore their spiritual path, and cultivate more meaningful connections with others. I strive to create a compassionate, grounded, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. Together, we will tailor a path that honors your unique needs, values, and goals. Taking the first step toward healing and a more fulfilling life requires courage. I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey. Karuna Kristjanson, LCSW, MAC
