Psychotherapist
IL
Hello, my name is Kari Stearns-Lamb. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois and Iowa. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from St. Ambrose University. My priority is you and what you need to feel successful in your life. I believe in a holistic approach, allowing you to heal by considering all your life experiences during treatment. My approach With each client, I create a non-judgmental, safe space met with positive regard, no matter the goals. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, among others. Each client is unique, so no one therapy fits all. My focus I enjoy working with adults 18 and up. My varied experiences allow me to adjust therapy approaches as needed. My communication style I strongly believe in nonjudgmental therapy and building trust. It is a privilege to work with clients, and I honor the trust placed in me. I value open communication and candidness. My journey to therapy In the first session, I want to get to know you, though time is limited. I do not carry an agenda; this is your time. I help you get comfortable with therapy and explore goals you want to set. My goals for you Therapy wasn’t my childhood dream—I wanted to be a teacher. Life had other plans. At 30, I returned to college, majored in Social Work, and fell in love with therapy while working at an Illinois state prison. It’s an honor to hold a place for each client. My first session with you I look forward to our sessions, where we can work together to create the change you want in your life.
