Karen Kelly

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in Alaska and Idaho with over 10 years of professional clinical experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, coping with addictions, & trauma and abuse.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Keep in mind, while I am empathetic, I am also direct and blunt as needed; and somewhat gentle as needed, I usually tell clients what they don’t want to hear vs what they want to hear.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been demonstrated to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.

One of the main advantages is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their routine and comfort level, whether that is a video appointment, a phone call, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules.

All therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy can be a convenient and practical way to access professional support for a wide range of everyday mental health concerns.
