Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Karen integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support clients in practical and compassionate ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy and collaboration, helping people feel heard as they explore personal values, relationship concerns, and identity issues. CBT offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping skills for mood, sleep, motivation, and self-esteem challenges.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when clients face intense emotions, anger, or relationship conflicts. Together these approaches provide both validation and actionable skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she partners with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape session structure and the techniques used.

Online therapy makes that collaboration more accessible through flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow clients to engage from home or work, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care across life transitions while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
