Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Karen commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT). Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client's perspective guides the work and helps with issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions; it offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills for changing unhelpful patterns. EFT concentrates on emotions and attachment in relationships, helping partners or family members better understand and respond to one another to repair bonds and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karen collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy stays aligned with what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access care from a distance, or maintain continuity of support during transitions. Working with licensed professionals in these formats can provide consistent, effective care while accommodating different schedules and comfort levels.
