Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am licensed in North Carolina with more than 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, trauma, abuse, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I believe that a million decisions led to this moment, some useful and some not, and you get to figure out what the next moment will be like. The figuring out parts can be like driving at night in a fog – it can be daunting to only see as far as your headlights, and it’s okay to make the whole trip that way. I am honored to listen to your story and ride shotgun on the road to overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to making a life you want to lead takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
How I work with people: I use cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help people link their thoughts, actions and emotions to make shifts that are more useful in daily life.

Karen Garraputa is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina (NC LCMHC 934) with more than 25 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and LGBT-related concerns, and she has experience supporting clients who are coping with life changes.
As a female therapist who lists specialties including work with gay and older clients and a liberal approach, she approaches therapy with the view that many decisions lead to the present moment – some helpful and some not – and that each person gets to determine what the next moment will be like. She likens the process of figuring things out to driving at night in a fog – you may only see as far as your headlights, and it is okay to make the whole trip that way.
She is honored to listen to clients’ stories and to ride shotgun on the road toward overcoming challenges that interfere with daily life. Taking the first step toward a life you want to lead takes courage, and she is available to support people through that process.
In practice she uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help link thoughts, actions, and emotions so clients can make shifts that are more useful in everyday life.
Many people wonder whether connecting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – individuals can choose the communication method that suits them best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide care remotely, and if someone decides they would prefer a different match, it is possible to switch therapists. Online therapy offers an adaptable option for people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns without changing the core elements of therapeutic work.
