How Karen’s Approaches Work Online
Karen uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person's experience at the center of sessions. This approach focuses on being heard, clarifying goals, and building on strengths to make steady progress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thinking patterns that increase distress and to practice different behaviors that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karen will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
