Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Karen Owen



Dr. Owen draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative and respectful atmosphere where the client's goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting individuals as they explore their feelings and choices, and it is well suited for people seeking a supportive, pace-driven process.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress by teaching skills for problem solving and emotional regulation.

Trauma-focused therapy is another core element of her practice, aimed at addressing the consequences of complex or acute traumatic experiences. This work helps clients process traumatic memories, reduce reactivity, and build coping strategies to improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Owen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors recommendations and adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy or geographically dispersed lives. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent care while helping clients stay connected to treatment in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels.
