Therapist in Gig Harbor, Washington Karli Reiter, Therapist

Karli Reiter is a therapist at LifeStance Health who works with young adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and the messy, confusing challenges of figuring out who you are in a world that can feel overwhelming. Her style is warm, genuine, and approachable, while also valuing direct feedback interventions for deeper introspection. She aims to create a space where clients, especially those of the LGBTQ+ community, can show up fully, feel supported, and explore their experiences without judgment.

Karli helps clients understand their emotional patterns, manage spiraling thoughts, and develop healthier boundaries in relationships, work, and daily life. She blends Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic work, somatic approaches, and humanistic principles to help clients feel more grounded and connected to who they are.

Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, body image concerns, identity exploration, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, attachment patterns, and cultural or spiritual shifts. She also works with trauma and PTSD, including domestic violence recovery, while honoring each client’s pace and comfort level.

As a bilingual Spanish speaker, Karli is committed to culturally responsive care and making therapy accessible and affirming for clients from diverse backgrounds. She believes therapy should feel like a collaborative process, where you can be honest, curious, and supported as you build a life that feels more grounded and authentic.

Outside of sessions, Karli enjoys staying active, reading, and keeping up with music and pop culture, which helps her stay connected to the world her clients are moving through.
