About Karl
Karl Nitz is an LSCSW (Kansas Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker) and an LCSW (Texas Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 23 years of practice. He works with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication to help people manage daily struggles and relationships.
Karl emphasizes straightforward communication between therapist and client. He sees that a working relationship and clear conversation make it easier to try new strategies. He explains techniques in simple terms so people can use them between sessions.
His approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside solution-focused work and parts-based thinking from Internal Family Systems. That mix is used to untangle unhelpful thoughts, build small practical changes, and address internal conflicts that fuel anger or anxiety.
Across 23 years he has worked with a wide range of concerns including workplace stress, social anxiety, panic, obsessions and compulsions, and issues tied to fatherhood and aging. He pays attention to where problems show up in daily life and picks techniques that are easy to practice outside therapy.
Karl notes that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so he moves at a pace people can manage. He offers both in-office and online sessions and asks people to choose the setting that fits their life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Karl blends cognitive behavioral work with solution-focused techniques and Internal Family Systems in ways that fit remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete skills for handling anger, anxiety, and mood shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy prioritizes small, practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce workplace stress or tense interactions. Internal Family Systems helps people notice different internal parts that may fuel reactive behavior and then work to change those patterns.Choosing the best approach is part of the collaboration. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together based on what helps. That shared process guides which techniques are emphasized in online meetings.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since session options are listed in the therapist biography but can change. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday routines while still having a therapist to discuss what did and didn't work.
