She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas when they fit the client’s goals. Over seven years, Karen has supported people facing a wide range of challenges including immigration issues, multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces matters, intellectual disability-related needs, postpartum depression, personality disorders, and process addictions.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings shape close connections. It is useful for understanding emotional patterns that contribute to relationship strain and for learning new ways to respond to intense feelings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters to a person and on small steps toward those values. It teaches simple practices to accept difficult thoughts and to act in ways that match personal goals, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of relating and how they show up now. It helps people build clearer expectations and healthier ways of seeking support from others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Karen will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their situation. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, quick coping tools, and flexible check-ins that fit busy days.
