More about Karleen

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a clinical social worker licensed in New Jersey and Florida with over 10 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, chronic illness, and end of life issues. I’ve also work with individuals who may self harm by cutting or burning themselves.

My counseling style is warm, direct, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and acceptance commitment therapy. I tailor my approach based on each client’s unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to make a change in your life. If you’re ready to make a change, I’ll help walk you through the process and provide support every step of the way.

I look forward to working with you!

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.
