About Karen
Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for common struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and less overwhelming.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what is worrying them. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build confidence over time.
Background and approach
Karen emphasizes clear communication and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her approach blends listening with actionable strategies. She uses talk therapy alongside techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to reduce worry and boost coping skills.
Solution-focused methods help set short-term goals and track small wins between sessions. Clients who come for help with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, or addiction often work on routines that support mood and daily functioning. People dealing with relationship patterns, attachment concerns, or codependency get help identifying unhelpful cycles and practicing different choices.
Career stress, parenting strain, and life transitions are addressed with practical planning and problem-solving. Karen also supports people managing attention differences, bipolar mood shifts, and anger by focusing on clearer routines and communication tools. She works collaboratively to tailor each plan to the person in front of her.
The goal is steady progress that fits everyday life.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and used in sessions to set the pace and topics that matter most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and short-term goals to create noticeable progress between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will meet the person where they are, discuss goals and preferences, and try methods that feel useful. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, skills-based CBT, or quick goal-focused strategies as treatment progresses.
Online formats offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation time, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in fits better. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or step-by-step coaching between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
