More about Karen
- 25 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been helping individuals and families for over 20 years. In that time, I have worked with individuals coping with concerns such as: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief and other transitions in life.
My counseling style is collaborative and I utilize cognitive behavioral, humanistic and solution-focused approaches. I believe that every person has the right and the capacity to live a happy and fulfilling life. Therefore, I work with you to explore and identify the barriers that may be impacting your ability to reach those goals. Therapy is a very individualized experience and our work will focus on your unique circumstances and needs.
It takes courage and strength to seek a happier and more fulfilling life. I welcome the opportunity to help you along in that journey and look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
