About Karen
Karen Slaton, LPC, helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and addiction. She creates a calm space where people can talk about hard experiences and find clearer paths forward. She uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions.
Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and what steps are realistic. She listens for values and meaning as well as for patterns that keep problems stuck. Karen draws on a mix of approaches including existential perspectives, acceptance and commitment methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening.
Background and approach
She may also use motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding reasons to change. These tools guide real, usable strategies for day-to-day life. Her work often addresses relationship strain, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and family of origin issues.
She also supports people facing isolation, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life worries, and substance-related problems. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while building long-term coping skills. Karen has ten years of experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential.
She practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches and online options for meaning and change
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It helps people facing life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or questions about purpose by encouraging honest reflection and exploring values.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It pairs mindfulness exercises with actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and empathy. The therapist offers a nonjudgmental presence that helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals and comfort level, adjusting strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and personal values.
