Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
Karen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns - a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for people experiencing intense emotions or relationship difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports processing and recovery from traumatic experiences, using targeted techniques to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Karen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining approaches as needed to support progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can connect in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, manage busy lives, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward meaningful change.
