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.

Karen is a wonderful person who respects every aspect of me and I've been working with her for a few months now. I'm free to share anything that comes to mind and she diligently listens to anything I have to say. Since beginning therapy with her, I can confidently say I'm proud of the person I'm becoming and Karen has provided impactful guidance and encouragement. She truly knows how to engage with me and provide a stress-free environment. Thank you Karen!

J.A.·Jul 2022

I just finished up about eight months of therapy with Karen, and I cannot recommend her any more highly. She is kind, caring, real, funny, non-judgmental, understanding... the list goes on, but most of all, she is exactly the kind of therapist I needed. I started working with Karen to address issues with self esteem. I felt that I was living to please other people, and I did not like myself much at all. She helped me to understand who I was, what I valued, what I wanted to bring to the world, and who I wanted to be inside of it. She helped me realize that I have value, and how to respect, acknowledge, and nurture that value (and, by extension, myself). My confidence in my ability to handle new situations has increased exponentially. She helped me navigate friendships, understand my relationships with my family, move away from home, and transition into a new job. I am a better family member, colleague, friend to others, and friend to myself because I have worked with her. If you are thinking about starting therapy with Karen, do it! I cannot thank her enough - she has changed my life :)

A.L.·Jul 2022

D.I.·Jan 2022

Karen has been a big help to me over the last few months. She has helped me sort out a lot of issues that are happening simultaneously, so I can break things down into smaller pieces that are easier to handle. I feel like I still have a lot of sorting out to do, but I’m confident that by continuing to talk things through with Karen, things are going to continue to improve. I think back to where I was when I first started with Karen, and realize that there were a few really pivotal things she said or asked me that really changed my approach for the better.

P.E.·Jan 2022

A.M.·Dec 2021

Karen is amazing. In the first session we were able to get to the root of where my current situation is stemming from. She is very knowledgeable and gives great real world scenarios to help things truly click. Creating a safe space while giving direction on how to keep making progress towards where you want to be.

Through simple questions to make me think about the bigger picture of a breakup I went through, Karen helped me gain closure on it.
