Approaches and flexible online care with Karen Gravel
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns - this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. The Gottman Method informs her work with couples and relationship issues by focusing on communication patterns, conflict management, and rebuilding connection in practical, skills-based ways. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are ambivalent about change by helping them explore values and build internal motivation for steps like recovery from substance use or lifestyle shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Karen collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit care into busy lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused support from different locations, which can be especially helpful during life transitions, relocation, or when in-person appointments are impractical.
