Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Karen draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing to address a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, helping with issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving strategies.
Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation for people coping with trauma, anxiety, or ongoing stress. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered approach that supports clients who are ambivalent about change - it is often used with addictions, lifestyle adjustments, and motivation-related goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly integrate techniques to match individual circumstances.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home, and fit sessions into daily life without compromising the quality of clinical work.
