About Karen
Karen Jacobs-White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 40 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, compassionate support. Her approach aims to make talking about hard feelings easier and less scary.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety and cope with depression. She also works with those facing addictions, anger, and major life changes. Sessions are meant to be a place to speak candidly about what is happening now.
Background and approach
Karen creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they feel. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name their goals. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s comfort level.
Her work draws on a range of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Those methods are used flexibly to fit an individual’s situation rather than as a rigid plan. Common concerns she addresses include caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and struggles with guilt or shame.
She also supports people dealing with divorce, family of origin issues, and isolation. Sessions may include looking at patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and setting small achievable steps. The overall aim is to help people find clearer direction and more workable coping strategies.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. It helps people facing big questions, grief, or major life changes to think about values and what matters to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult feelings while moving toward personal goals. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, and persistent unwanted thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the person’s situation. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, follow-ups, or paced conversations over time. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and different needs.
