Do you feel alone or misunderstood, or are you looking for an unbiased person to listen? You’re not alone. My name is Karie Talkington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, and I have been working with children, teens, and adults for the past 24 years in various capacities. I help clients and families navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes with compassion. I specialize in autism, ADHD, and trauma. My goal is to help you feel more secure, confident, and connected—to help you live your best life!
Welcome! I am so glad you found me. I am a highly trained therapist who works with children and adolescents ages 3-18 as well as young adults and parents. I received my undergraduate degree from Dallas Baptist University and my Masters in Counseling from the University of North Texas. I am an LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have also worked with foster and adoptive children and their families and I am trauma-informed as well having a broad range of experience in education. I have two therapy dogs who often join me in sessions. George is an experienced helper while Charolette is still a puppy in training. I have been working with children for over 20 years.
My ideal clients are seeking deeper connections but feeling held back by intimacy issues, relationship patterns, anxiety, depression, or trauma. You might feel disconnected from your partner, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, or stuck in cycles that no longer serves you. In our work together, you don't have to hide any part of who you are. I provide a grounded, entirely non-judgmental space centered on authentic human connection. Together, we explore what is keeping you stuck and build practical, compassionate paths toward relational understanding, emotional stability, and personal healing.
Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in hospital-based care, trauma work, and cross-cultural mental health, my practice is guided by the belief that healing starts with safety, clarity, and being truly understood. I offer a steady, compassionate presence and a culturally attuned perspective, respecting both the science of the mind and your personal narrative. I am dedicated to providing care that is thoughtful, grounded, and respectful of your entire experience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Laredo, TX
Finding postpartum therapists in Laredo starts with looking for care that matches the concerns you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or listed training such as the perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C). A therapist’s bio can also show whether their approach fits what you want from therapy, such as structured skill-building, space to process major life changes, or support with communication.
In a mid-size city like Laredo, you may find a mix of local office-based care and virtual therapy options. Virtual appointments can be especially practical for new parents balancing infant care, changing schedules, physical recovery, and other responsibilities. As you narrow your search, check whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, clinical focus, and experience with postpartum mental health.
Therapy in Laredo can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process clearer by showing therapists who match your preferences and letting you enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare postpartum therapists in Laredo, review bios, check virtual or in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
