About Kari Oshinski

Kari Oshinski is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Wisconsin. She creates an empathetic, supportive environment where people can work through emotional pain, untangle frustrations, and address the everyday problems that get in the way of feeling well. LMFT stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a credential that reflects specialized training in relationship and family dynamics.

Her work often focuses on small, practical shifts - adjustments to self-care routines, the way people talk to themselves, or how relationships are navigated - that can open the door to bigger change. She collaborates with clients to clarify what a healthy lifestyle looks like for them, then helps build a bridge between that vision and the actions that make it real. Kari aims to offer a warm, positive therapeutic space that supports growth and leaves clients feeling more hopeful and capable.

Approachable and encouraging, she supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions, while also addressing more specific issues like blending families, caregiver stress, body image, and communication problems.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Kari commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more balanced patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for anxiety, stress, and problems with self-talk. Mindfulness Therapy is another approach she draws on - it teaches present-focused awareness techniques that can reduce reactivity and build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings, supporting clients navigating life transitions and ongoing stress. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen personal motivation for change, which can be especially helpful for goals around self-care, behavior change, or improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kari works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals and therapists when appropriate to determine the best fit based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so treatment stays aligned with what is most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapy into daily life while allowing the therapist and client to focus on meaningful progress.
