Hello, I am Karen and I have over 20 years of experience as a marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and mental health counselor (LMHC). Helping people improve their quality of life is my passion! To help with immediate relief, I work from Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) orientation to empower you and get you moving in the direction you desire. I am also trained in Family Systems Theory which takes a comprehensive approach to addressing issues for the long term. I am happy to meet you where you are and go at your pace whether that is baby steps toward a goal or dealing with sudden, massive life changes. I can help you see things from a different perspective by asking thought provoking questions. I like to emphasize your strengths while supporting you learning new skills and can be very direct when needed. Together, we will determine together what you want and need to achieve your goals.

Personally, I am from the Midwest and have enjoyed living in New England and Southern California as well as Florida. I have learned to appreciate how different those cultures are. I have diverse work experience having worked in management in Corporate America as well in startups and family owned businesses. I enjoy traveling, am very social and strive to keep myself physically and emotionally healthy.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

The old adage, "You cannot see the forest from the trees" is one I have always believed in. Karen helps me see the forest in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. I appreciate the way she guides me to a more well rounded way of thinking and I am excited to continue on this path to healing with her. I feel this service is worth every penny and I have already seen success in the few weeks we have been speaking. Thank you, Karen.

Karen Fischer is simply amazing. I signed up for a month of therapy thinking I would need more than a month to sort all of the issues out. I have never done therapy and didn't really know how it works and I couldn't see anyone being able to help me if I didn't know how to help myself. Within one week I felt so much better which I honestly never imagined my life could improve so much in just one week. I highly recommend Karen she is very professional in the work she does and she responds to you relatively quickly.

Due to my schedule, more than likely I would not be in counseling if I had to physically be in an appointment for an hour like most counseling is set up. The fact that I can write out my thoughts and send them at the time I am thinking about it. Then get an email back later which gives both of us time to collect our thoughts. It is so nice to have time to think about what Karen last said and what my current thoughts are. In the past it was difficult for me to think of everything I would want to tell a counselor in that 1 hour of face to face time. I would leave and then think of some relevant thing I wanted to discuss but it was too late, the session was over. This method works so much better for me. I have had a phone conversation with Karen also that was very helpful. Karen has recommended books that have been enlightening. She is very supportive but also has a way of getting me to examine myself and encourages personal growth. Thank you Karen.

Karen Fischer is amazing. I didn't know what to expect with this program but I felt comfortable with her right away. She's so patient even when I write books to her, and I adore that. She's really helping me see why I am how I am and offers great means to figure things out from different aspects, ones that I'd not seen before. I've always been rather an "off the record" "psychologist " for friends and strangers alike and being on the other side of the" desk", now I know how everyone I have helped feels. It's amazing to have someone there who doesn't judge and helps me grow and heal. Thank you, Karen, and thank you, BetterHelp. You have helped me start to rise up from a lot of dark places. The sun is peeking out of the dark clouds.
