Meet Karly Poole, LLMSW
Therapist | Specializing in Adolescent & Young Adult Mental Health
Karly is a dedicated mental health therapist at The Healing Approach who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
With a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, Karly is passionate about helping young people feel seen, supported, and empowered in every stage of their healing journey.
Since beginning her clinical work in 2021, Karly has provided community-based therapy to youth and families across Livingston County through Community Mental Health in Howell.
Her experience working closely with clients in their homes and schools has given her a deep understanding of the complex challenges teens and families face today, and how to meet them where they are on their individual journey.
Karly is trained in several leading therapeutic modalities, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused CBT), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
She tailors each session to the individual needs of her clients, offering practical tools and emotional support to help them build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and gain confidence in their ability to cope with life’s challenges.
Karly is currently accepting new clients for therapy appointments Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Some insurance is accepted.
“My work has always centered on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.”
At the heart of Karly’s work is a deep belief that therapy should be a safe space, where individuals are met with empathy, professionalism, and evidence-based care.
Whether it’s a teen struggling with school-related stress, a young adult facing overwhelming emotions, or a parent seeking guidance for their child, Karly works collaboratively to create a path forward that feels both manageable and meaningful.
