Approaches, Online Care, and Practical Flexibility
Karen integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting each person with empathy and respect, helping them explore feelings and goals at their own pace while the therapist offers support rather than direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical skills to change how they feel and act, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when relevant, teaching concrete techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These methods can be especially helpful for clients navigating intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns of impulsive behavior.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karen works with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts methods over time to find what fits best. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to match the complexity of an individual’s situation.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats for communication, and access support in ways that align with daily life.
