Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience working as therapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems. I have worked with many couples for relationship repair, communication skills, and pre-marital counseling.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, without judgment. My approach combines person centered, solution focused counseling styles. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I really appreciate Karen listening to me.
Karen is kind and compassionate, pays attention to my concerns and gives me good feedback.
I felt good about Karen when I had her as a therapist before and now we are starting over again. A lot has happened and I feel good about our first session.
Conversations with Karen are easy. I was able to quickly connect and try suggestions she made. I am thankful for Karen and her expertise and approach to therapy!
Karen is wonderful, she helps in a timely manner and she’s so efficient
This was my first experience interacting with a therapist and Karen made it so very easy for me to open up. I highly recommend Karen Walker
Karen is an excellent therapist. Whether you have issues with narcissist abuse, relationship issues, stress concerning life or loss, she is a calm, collected and understanding therapist that really gets the center of a problem and helps one develop a solution.
Very pleasant to talk with and I feel Karen really cares like one human being should for another.
Karen is really good at what she does. I've had a few counselor's before her that greatly disappointed me, but she makes me feel very comfortable.
Karen has been so helpful on my journey to sobriety, better mental health and improving my life in general. She has been supportive, understand and guided me in ways to stay on course while also reminding me how far I’ve come. She’s instilled confidence in my own abilities as well as helped me to find ways to stay strong on my own in stressful or turbulent situations.
Karen is a wonderful person who respects every aspect of me and I've been working with her for a few months now. I'm free to share anything that comes to mind and she diligently listens to anything I have to say. Since beginning therapy with her, I can confidently say I'm proud of the person I'm becoming and Karen has provided impactful guidance and encouragement. She truly knows how to engage with me and provide a stress-free environment. Thank you Karen!
Karen provides great insight and even shares some of her experiences. When my head Is spinning, she knows how to make my mind organized.
Karen's keen insight is always right on and helps me see things from different points of view.
Amazing. Very good therapist.
I thought I never would have been able to overcome my circumstances but Karen helped me find self fulfillment and leave toxic situations I felt stuck in. Would recommend her 100%!
Karen has been an absolute pleasure to work with, I’ve been working with her for about 3 months now and can already see major improvements for my mental health, Thank you Karen for teaching me exercises to do for coping with grief and better hear my feelings out, thank you most importantly for making me feel heard and understood
She's very thoughtful and kind and objective.
Karen has made a huge difference in my life! Even people who do not know I am in therapy have made comments about how I seem to be calmer and more at peace. I have recommended several people to betterhelp.com. It is the first thing I tell people!
Karen listens and pay attention to what I say. She makes it feel like I'm actually being heard and I appreciate that a lot.
Karen is very relatable and gives great advice!!
Absolutely one of the easiest person to talk to. Could not recommend more, having Karen Walker in my life has really given me a better understanding of myself and how to handle my struggles I’m working through.
Karen is understanding, caring, and gives great advice on how to deal with life’s stresses and issues! I always look forward to our sessions!

Karen is an amazing therapist. She has truly helped me in many ways over the past few years. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Karen as she is very understanding of my issues and needs and has been really helpful to confirm some items I have been struggling with as well as shed light on how to better my self-esteem and confidence.
Very kind, thoughtful and neutral.
Karen is always supportive of me and helps me to work through difficult emotions and helps me to devise a plan to approach stressful situations.
She listens and gives great advice/ feedback.
I just finished up about eight months of therapy with Karen, and I cannot recommend her any more highly. She is kind, caring, real, funny, non-judgmental, understanding... the list goes on, but most of all, she is exactly the kind of therapist I needed. I started working with Karen to address issues with self esteem. I felt that I was living to please other people, and I did not like myself much at all. She helped me to understand who I was, what I valued, what I wanted to bring to the world, and who I wanted to be inside of it. She helped me realize that I have value, and how to respect, acknowledge, and nurture that value (and, by extension, myself). My confidence in my ability to handle new situations has increased exponentially. She helped me navigate friendships, understand my relationships with my family, move away from home, and transition into a new job. I am a better family member, colleague, friend to others, and friend to myself because I have worked with her. If you are thinking about starting therapy with Karen, do it! I cannot thank her enough - she has changed my life :)
Karen is very easy to talk to and very understanding. She continues to help me improve upon my mental health. I am grateful for her and this platform.
Karen is kind and insightful. She listens and cuts to the heart of the matter, even when I don't know what that is. I love her relatable stories and it makes me feel like I am not alone going through this crazy life.
Karen really understands my problem so I feel she is a great therapist.
Karen listens. A safe person without judgements. Good in guiding toward goals. And connects in a helpful way.
She’s the best. I was scared to do online therapy, but Karen has made it very easy
I always feel supported by Karen. She lets me feel heard and understood.
Karen is awesome! She gives me support and comfort even when I don't even know I need it. She's incredibly skilled and just a down-to-earth person that I really enjoy speaking to every week. I look forward to our sessions every time.
I think we are a good fit. She listens to me and gives me good suggestions.
Karen is great! A+
Karen is awesome and has been so helpful that I feel a lot better and I feel good again. She truely understands!
Karen has been a big help to me over the last few months. She has helped me sort out a lot of issues that are happening simultaneously, so I can break things down into smaller pieces that are easier to handle. I feel like I still have a lot of sorting out to do, but I’m confident that by continuing to talk things through with Karen, things are going to continue to improve. I think back to where I was when I first started with Karen, and realize that there were a few really pivotal things she said or asked me that really changed my approach for the better.
Karen was amazing. She was able to give me different views on how to approach my relationship issues which is what I was looking for. She was very understanding and easy to talk to.
Karen is a great Therapist, she listens and elvauates what is going on. She listens to you and personalizes your care.
She’s amazing.
Karen is fantastic! She listens and understands she gives good advice. She gives you techniques and tools to work with at home. I feel her schedule is flexible with offering different times and dates. Also she responses quickly to messages. She also has many ways to communicate, which I like.
Karen is amazing. In the first session we were able to get to the root of where my current situation is stemming from. She is very knowledgeable and gives great real world scenarios to help things truly click. Creating a safe space while giving direction on how to keep making progress towards where you want to be. I would recommend her to my friends and family!!
She's amazing. Very warm and listens great. Do yourself a favor and book her now
Through simple questions to make me think about the bigger picture of a breakup I went through, Karen helped me gain closure on it. The questions she asked have helped me, and will continue to, when self-reflecting on situations. She’s a great active listener and I’m glad to have had her as my therapist.
In a short time I have developed a great rapport with Karen. I feel listened to and she always makes me feel better, which I truly appreciate.
I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is a great listener and helped in me through a difficult time in my life.
Karen was so helpful! I would recommend her to any one of my family or friends!
