I am a mental health therapist licensed in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and bulimia/binge eating. I work with individuals from all walks of life including LGBTQ .
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My work integrates a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives. Therapy is geared more toward personal growth than simply toward behavior change or symptom relief. I see the exploration, discovery, and reconnection to one's true Self as the key to this growth. I view the individual as coping with life in the best way he or she knows how, and view the individual"s difficulties as understandable responses to life situations. Therapy style is geared to the unique needs of the client. Although I find an individual's history important in understanding one's difficulties, I encourage the individual to work on issues as they present themselves in the present.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dale Karl. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I finally found someone that understands what I am going through. I haven’t had a therapist that is this caring in a long time. It’s been really good and we’ve only had one session. I haven’t found anyone that truly gets my issues until now.
