Anxiety Therapists in Washington, DC
I’ve had the privilege of working in both school and clinical settings, supporting clients facing challenges such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, self-harm, and suicidality.
Our first session is all about getting to know each other and beginning to build a sense of comfort and trust. My goal is to make the space feel safe, welcoming, and relaxed — not like an interview or a test, but more like a meaningful conversation.

I primarily work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and LGBTQIA+ and/or DEI-related issues.
Hello, I'm Karl Kaliher. Life can be extremely stressful at times, particularly for those who have experienced trauma, oppression, or marginalization. These stressors can interfere with our ability to accomplish desired goals and lessen our overall well-being or happiness, especially if we do not have the proper skills to work through them. It can seem overwhelming to manage these life stressors, along with the challenging thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that often accompany them. However, there is a path forward. I will help guide and empower you to overcome the challenges life throws at you.

Hi there! I’m happy that you’re here and willing to take a look at things in your life through a perspective of change. Change is the only constant in life. Change is uncomfortable but if you’ve made it to this point, I encourage you to continue to choose yourself and take charge of your life. I’m here to take clinical words or taboo ideas and see how they might firstly, make sense in your situation and secondly, apply to your day-to-day in concrete ways. I am not here to give you answers rather ask the right questions that help you discover or accept answers yourself. Let’s move forward together!

After several years in the Italian Navy and then working as a Registered Nurse, I received training in Counseling Psychology and worked for many years in community-based outpatient settings and private practice where I help people address their issues with depression, anxiety, and substance use.
In my practice I am guided by the belief that change is possible and that every person has the capacity for healthy growth and development but may at times need help in accessing inner resources for positive change. I believe a therapist-client relationship that is characterized by empathy, curiosity, acceptance and caring is what facilitates the therapeutic process. I aim to provide an environment where my clients feel safe and free to explore their feelings, thoughts, needs and goals - an environment where we can work together at understanding what is keeping them from living a more fulfilling life.

Adult psychotherapy: My practice utilizes an integrative approach that balances deep emotional support with practical, goal-oriented strategies. By combining the Rogerian (Person-Centered) model with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I create a therapeutic space where you are first met with unconditional empathy and non-judgmental understanding. Once a foundation of safety and self-acceptance is established, we work collaboratively to identify and restructure the thought patterns that may be keeping you stuck. This dual focus ensures you feel truly heard and valued as an individual while gaining the concrete tools.
