More about Karen
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I began working with clients in behavioral health therapy about 16 years ago, and since then I have learned a great deal about behavioral health and the triggers which might constitute a need for someone to seek therapy. I especially enjoy working with individuals with disabilities, and dealing with overcoming some of the stigmatizations associated with the barriers which might contribute to an individual’s overall health, identifying symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and feelings of low esteem and self-worth . I work to assist with overcoming and managing these symptoms and barriers, and to establish improved levels of self efficacy, empowerment, and self sufficiency. I work with children and adults.

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.
