More about Karen
- 25 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been helping individuals and families for over 20 years. In that time, I have worked with individuals coping with concerns such as: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief and other transitions in life.
My counseling style is collaborative and I utilize cognitive behavioral, humanistic and solution-focused approaches. I believe that every person has the right and the capacity to live a happy and fulfilling life. Therefore, I work with you to explore and identify the barriers that may be impacting your ability to reach those goals. Therapy is a very individualized experience and our work will focus on your unique circumstances and needs.
It takes courage and strength to seek a happier and more fulfilling life. I welcome the opportunity to help you along in that journey and 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.
