Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Karen integrates evidence-informed methods to meet clients where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and struggles with avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and behavior, supporting work on relationship conflicts, family dynamics, and interpersonal difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety and depression and for reducing compulsive or addictive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Karen works collaboratively with clients to determine which strategies fit best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Karen can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing day-to-day responsibilities.
