She works with adults experiencing anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and issues related to addiction and trauma.

Karen draws on practical talk therapy and skills-based work. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions aim to reduce distress and help people make choices that match their values.
Background and approach
Her background includes seven years of clinical experience in Georgia. Karen trained at the master’s level in clinical mental health counseling and holds the LPC credential. She has written about spirituality in recovery and has presented to community organizations and school systems.
In the therapy room Karen takes a collaborative approach. She listens first to understand what matters most, then offers tools that fit the person’s goals. Expect clear explanations, manageable homework, and focused conversations about next steps.
Many clients ask for help with panic, phobias, sleep or eating problems, and managing stress at work or home. Karen also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Her aim is to help people build routines and skills that make daily life feel steadier.
How online sessions use skills and values
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck when avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is commonly used for panic, phobias, depression, and sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That choice is collaborative - goals, pace, and practical needs guide which tools are used in sessions.
Online therapy makes regular work easier to fit into life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and see demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, skill reminders, and flexible communication between scheduled sessions. These options aim to make consistent progress more achievable for people juggling busy days.
