Karen Medlock, LCSW

Karen Medlock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in both Texas and Louisiana who blends clinical training with a holistic outlook to support clients across the lifespan. She holds two master’s degrees, one in social work and one in theology, and uses that background to address emotional, relational, and existential concerns with empathy and practical strategies.

Her professional history includes teaching certification in Michigan and classroom experience from kindergarten through twelfth grade, which informs her work with adolescents and teenagers. She has provided services to people as young as three and to adults into their eighties, and she welcomes cultural, racial, and sexual orientation diversity in her practice.

Karen led sexual offender treatment with adult male offenders at Norton Correctional Center in Norton, Kansas, experience that expanded her skills in addiction work, group facilitation, and delivering psycho-social classes on many topics. She finds prison work meaningful because it highlights the human stories behind difficult behaviors and unmet needs.

Karen has extensive experience helping people process trauma and post-traumatic stress, including severe panic attacks, and she has worked deeply with grief and loss. She describes her therapeutic style as laid-back and adaptive - meeting clients where they are, helping them build on strengths, and accompanying them as they explore new paths. She is available for video, phone, and text-based sessions, offering options for those with busy schedules or who prefer not to meet in person.
