About Karlee
Karlee Shave is a licensed master social worker practicing in Michigan. She brings six years of experience supporting people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. Karlee has worked with LGBTQIA+ identified clients and focuses on helping adolescents and young adults find practical ways to feel better and stay motivated.
She emphasizes a client-centered approach that keeps the person in charge of their goals. Sessions aim to be warm, nonjudgmental, and straightforward so people can speak about what matters most. Karlee uses her background to adapt to each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. When relationship patterns are central, she may include practices influenced by the Gottman method to improve communication and connection.
Karlee often helps people untangle family of origin issues, abandonment or attachment concerns, body image and identity questions, and challenges tied to caregiving stress or chronic conditions. She also supports those coping with dissociation, domestic violence histories, and complex mood symptoms.
Sessions focus on clear next steps and usable tools. Karlee aims to help people build skills they can use between meetings while honoring their pace and priorities.
How Karlee's Approaches Can Work Online
Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals first and focuses on listening and understanding. It helps people who need a judgment-free place to sort out feelings and decide what matters most.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. This approach can help when worries about abandonment, attachment issues, or family of origin problems affect day-to-day life.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Karlee collaborates with each person to decide whether client-centered conversations, attachment-focused work, CBT techniques, or a mix will fit their goals and preferences. The process involves trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed.
