Evidence-Based Therapy, Made More Accessible Online
Karen Larkins uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients better understand what is driving distress and what can change. In sessions, this often includes learning to identify triggers and the situations that intensify anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, then practicing more supportive ways to respond. This approach can be especially helpful for people navigating life changes or ongoing stressors that affect daily functioning.She also emphasizes skill-building aimed at strengthening self-efficacy and empowerment - focusing on practical steps that help clients feel more capable, more independent, and more grounded in their own strengths. For clients living with disabilities and related barriers, therapy can include making sense of the emotional impact of stigma and finding workable strategies for coping and self-advocacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karen collaborates with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjusts the work over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility without putting life on hold. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, limited transportation, or changing energy levels.
