Approaches Karen Uses and How They Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. It helps people clarify their values, strengthen self-worth, and find direction when coping with life changes or relationship struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and functioning. It offers practical strategies for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily life by teaching skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for people who want better emotional regulation and steadier relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options help maintain continuity of care during life transitions and provide multiple ways for clients to engage with therapists in a manner that suits their daily routines.
