Dr. Karen Kearby is a warm, interactive Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who combines respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her clinical work. She uses an eclectic, holistic approach that draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, humanistic principles, positive psychology, and rational-emotive techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. With five years of experience, she has provided care across settings that include private practice, prison and jail facilities, and military installations, working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups.

Her clinical focus spans a wide range of concerns such as stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger and stress management, self-esteem struggles, addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She emphasizes collaborative goal setting and ongoing evaluation of the therapeutic plan so progress is clear and adjustments can be made as needed.
