Online support
Approach and online options for meaningful change
Karen uses Existential Therapy to help people consider questions about meaning, values, and choice in their lives; this work can be useful for people feeling empty, stuck, or facing major life transitions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on active listening and helping people notice and use their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed when targeting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Karen will talk with each person about their goals, try different strategies as needed, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to combine reflection with concrete skills so clients leave sessions with both insight and steps to try between meetings.
Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit ongoing work into everyday life.
