Karen has worked in social services and mental health for over 10 years and brings more than 7 years of experience as a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor.

Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Care
Karen Conner-Wilson uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build practical skills for everyday challenges such as stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and major life transitions. In sessions, she focuses on what is happening now, what has been working or not working, and what changes feel most meaningful to the client.One common element of evidence-based care is skill-building: learning specific strategies to manage overwhelming feelings, reduce avoidance, and respond differently when panic, social anxiety, guilt, or shame show up. Another is structured goal-setting, which helps turn big concerns - like coping with loss, workplace stress, or family conflict - into clear, manageable steps that can be practiced between sessions. Evidence-based work can also include strengthening communication patterns, so clients can express needs more effectively and feel less stuck in repeating cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karen collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and pacing, adjusting the work over time to stay aligned with what feels helpful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support around a busy schedule or during periods of change.
