I am licensed in Kentucky with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, intimacy related issues, sleeping disorders, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I also work with clients having marital issues, and also do premarital counseling. Additionally, I do faith based counseling when the clients desire it. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Strongly Recommend
Karen has helped me tremendously. Appreciate her being a listening ear, non judging with tips to help me deal with stress/anxiety.
Karen really listened to my concerns and addressed them right away. She's easy to talk to, and makes me feel heard and validated.
She listens to me and her responses are always what I need to hear,which is helpful.
I've only had one session with Karen, but during that session she was very kind, helpful, and she listened to my problems. She also asked questions that made me think about my behaviors and reactions which I really appreciated.
Karen has been very helpful. I have very much appreciated her insight. She has been helping me through a very difficult time.
She is very attentive and relates with me very well. She has already helped me in just 1 session.
Karen has been great! She is flexible around my busy schedule. I have only got to meet with her over video chat twice but she has checked in on me via text several times. I will definitely be scheduling with her in the fall to follow up on things we have discussed and worked on!!
Karen listens to my concerns and offers very good advice.
Karen is a nice person, but not a good fit for my particular set of circumstances. Also, she has limited availability, and I feel like I need more frequent communication, having never done this before.
Karen goes above and beyond and is a very friendly and professional therapist.
