Karie Kroon, MSW, LCSW, LICSW
Bio
My name is Karie Kroon. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin. When life made a sudden change, I followed a life-long dream and entered college as a non-traditional student. I graduated in 2010. I brought with me a lot of accomplishments and experiences from different types of work that all have benefited me in this field. I love different cultures and have had the privilege to work in many settings including culturally sensitive settings.
I have worked with children, young adults, and older adults all ranging from three years old to 80+ in all walks of life, helping them with what life has brought their way. I consider myself eclectic in my approach. My first step is to learn about the person to understand what will be the best fit in my therapeutic approach.
My clients have my full attention, and I will always do my best. Trust and a rapport with clients are essential in helping them to empower themselves to accomplish what they are needing. Clients are important to me; each one is an individual and has a journey that they are on. I feel honored to walk that journey with them.
Karie is currently only seeing clients telehealth/virtually.

Clinical Approaches
I find that cognitive behavior therapy is a good starting point in my therapeutic approach. I will incorporate other modalities as I see fit such as client centered, motivational interview, trauma focused, strengths based, and solution focused.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma.
