About Karen
Karen Jacobs-White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 40 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and the strain of life changes. Her work begins with listening and creating a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
Clients meet a therapist who values clear goals and steady support. Sessions aim to identify what is causing pain and to find practical steps forward.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches to suit different situations rather than a single fixed method. Her background includes long clinical experience across many concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and problems with control or codependency. That range helps when lives feel complicated by overlapping challenges.
She also addresses family of origin patterns, communication struggles, and feelings of guilt or shame. Karen draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and relationship patterns, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-driven action. She adapts these methods to each person’s needs and pace.
People who choose her often want straightforward feedback and steady encouragement. The aim is practical change - calmer days, clearer decisions, and better ways to cope when things get hard.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and the way people respond to one another. Online EFT sessions help clients notice patterns in feeling and connection and translate insight into new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses clear, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values. These approaches can be used together to address anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. That process includes talking about goals, trying strategies, and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Clients are encouraged to share what helps and what does not so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice strategies in real time. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily demands.
