I've been very pleased with Karen Tumbleson in talking to her regarding my grief and loss of my mother. It's been a terrible journey, but I've been helped in recent months by Karen. She's offered insights that I never even thought of, and she's been helpful at having somebody to finally bounce ideas and thoughts to.

More about Karen

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC, LPC

Hello. My name is Karen. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with extensive experience helping people navigate issues related to grief, loss, loneliness, anxiety and depression. These issues are often attached to personal trauma, life transitions, or current and past relationship struggles.

If you have not utilized counseling in the past, please know that it is simply a safe place to tell your story and make the changes that you chose. If you have taken part in counseling before, welcome back. Adjustments, adaptations and growth are lifelong pursuits. You may already know that BetterHelp’s vision is to “help more people live a better and happier life every day.” I embrace that vision. It’s simple, honest, and has an infinite goal to focus on improvement every day.

My counseling style is empathic, interactive and solution focused. You and your strengths are the focus of treatment. Solutions focused and cognitive behavioral therapies have impact across many situations because they offer guidance and tools for real life. Because of this, I use these approaches with clients often. Focusing on how thoughts impact emotions and implanting steps towards change means that counseling does not generally need to be long term. Effective therapy sends people out with tools and strategies to use immediately and into the future.

I am already looking forward to meeting you and am excited for the “better and happier” ahead.

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.
