Karla Burgess, LIMHP

Karla Burgess is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Nebraska, with 21 years of experience working in hospital settings and in private practice within a rural community. Her long tenure as the sole mental health provider in that area has given her broad exposure to issues such as anxiety and depression, behavioral concerns, parenting and relationship challenges, and grief.

Her background also includes experience as a school counselor, which contributes to her ease in working with children, teens, and adults. She places high value on building a strong therapeutic relationship and approaches counseling with warmth, empathy, and respect for the individual’s goals and pace.

Karla draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a client-centered approach to support goal-directed progress. She works collaboratively to set clear steps so clients can track movement toward their counseling objectives.

Former and current clients describe her as kind, compassionate, caring, supportive, and empathetic. She regards the opportunity to be part of someone’s journey as both a privilege and a responsibility, and she is committed to helping people address whatever is limiting their growth and well-being.
