Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Support
Karen brings client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and trauma-focused care into the online setting to meet a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and strengths, creating a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities and helps build self-awareness and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying patterns of thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood and to change unhelpful habits. Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past injuries affect present functioning, helping people process traumatic experiences, reduce reactivity to triggers, and develop coping skills tailored to their needs.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Karen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Karen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
