She speaks plainly and listens closely to your story, helping you sort through difficult feelings and build practical steps forward.

Sessions emphasize understanding how thoughts and behaviors link, learning new coping skills, and addressing painful memories in manageable ways. EMDR is one of the therapies listed in her practice profile and may be included when appropriate. Karen brings seven years of counseling experience to her practice and uses a blend of strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques depending on client needs. This mix supports work on addiction, grief, parenting stress, self-esteem, and career transitions. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta and professional membership in counseling organizations.

She holds licensure as an LPC in Georgia and has experience speaking and writing about recovery and spirituality. In sessions, Karen focuses on clear goals and small, sustainable changes. She helps clients build tools for coping, repair relationships, and move toward long-term stability and improved daily functioning.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck in avoidance; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that fuel depression, anxiety, and problematic habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help with intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust techniques over time so the work matches what you need and what feels doable.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face for skill practice and deeper processing. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
