HI,
My name is Karen Douglas, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with an M.A. in Clinical Psychology.
If you are experiencing problems with
• your relationships,
• your career,
• with family and friends,
• struggling with past issues and behaviors which have become barriers to your current and future well being,
• a point in your life that you feel change within is necessary,
• struggling with life issues and events,
• parenting,
• how others treat and/or feel about you,
• struggling with your sense of self,
Then consider working with me!
I use a variety of modalities depending on the person and the issues. Basically, I am a brief, solution focused, systemic therapist. What does this mean for you? This means that you and I concentrate on the issue you present, work intentionally to bring about the resolution you are seek, and do so in a timely manner. That together, we explore what realistic and achievable results look like. It means that I value your time and that I am committed to focusing only on those outcomes that meet your unique and specific needs.
I have over 40 years of varied experience in mental health with 29 of those years spent as a systems trained therapist working with families, couples, individuals and children, helping them overcome a wide spectrum of issues. For ten years, I was on the faculty of a post graduate, systems focused, marriage and family training program. Currently, I provide supervision for therapists seeking licensure in marriage and family therapy and for those seeking Approved Supervisor status with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
Do I have all the answers? No, I do not. However, I can help you reach your goals in a manner that is , comfortable and doable for you.
Why put off until tomorrow, what you can do today? I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
