More about Karen

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LPCC, LCMHC

Hello, my name is Karen Kavaloski and I am a LPC in New Mexico, North Carolina and in Missouri. I was originally licensed as a counselor in 2009 while working in Arizona by the State of North Carolina after making a career change from a almost 30 year history in nursing. My passion since I was a young adult was counseling and it took me almost 30 years to achieve my goal of becoming a counselor. I was a Marine wife for almost 30 years and have traveled allot, I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My youngest, a son, and one of my grandchildren are severely autistic so I can identify with the stress and struggles some families have with managing special needs within their family. I am also a cancer survivor. I believe we all have an ability to heal the body, mind and soul and I consciously strive daily to be an active participant in my life and support and encourage others to do the same. My education beyond my nursing and counseling includes a Masters in Business Administration and a Doctorate in (Christian) Ministries.

I have worked primarily over this past 15 years with trauma and substance abuse in the adult population with about 3 years working with the teenage population in these areas. I also have worked about 5 years total with prison reentry and counseling individuals and families with histories of incarceration in state and federal prison. I believe in working with individuals and families to achieve their highest goals. I believe the client is the expert in his/her own life and I fully encourage one to strive to work towards building a strong foundation within themselves and their families whatever that looks like to them, to that end I use focused solution therapy, internal systems therapy, mindfulness/compassion therapy, cognitive and cognitive behavioral, dialectical therapy, emotional freedom techniques and/or neurolinguistic techniques .

Outside my therapy practice, I spend my leisure time reading. meditation/praying and gardening. I do light exercise daily.

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 was immediately able to understand the issues I was facing and started right away in helping me to make a positive change. After my first session I was ready to move forward in a way I hadn’t been in quite a while. The advice she gives is fashioned in a way that one must really be able and willing to work. I don’t think that someone who needs a lot of pushing could flourish with Karen, as she seems to base her therapy on an individual taking control and really practicing the exercises she suggests. That being said, in no way does she push or insist or pressure. She makes sure that I take things slowly, one day at a time, and ensures i know that progress DOES happen, albeit sometimes slowly and that’s ok.

Karen is helping me to isolate what is causing my issues and provides tools to assist me in working through difficulties. I look forward to our sessions, her insight is phenomenal and I truly view things differently after we have a discussion of an issue. So grateful for her.

I have so much to thank Karen for! In only a few sessions I have made huge breakthroughs with my anxiety and OCD which I haven’t been able to do with anyone else. Her approach to counselling and the methods she shares are practical and can be put into place right away. She is so supportive, calm, patient and very easy to talk to. I feel listened to and understood and I am in such a better place in my life- I can’t wait to see how much more progress I can make. Thanks so much Karen!

Karen is a very nice person. I have never worked with a psychologist before, so, I don’t have anything to compare to. But, I am really touched with her gentle and humble nature. She has taught me a lot, EFT technique, meditation techniques, inner child work, so much more. She is so simple and open that I feel like a friend with her. She is very quick in replying. She gently listens to me without judgement. She is such a sweet person who’s helped me in sorting things out. She has taught me that no matter what life brings I stay as a warrior. I am so thankful to her and BetterHelp. Thanks Karen.
