Online therapeutic approaches and communication
Karen integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented in straightforward terms to help identify and test thoughts and behaviors. EMDR is described as a structured way to address distressing memories when trauma or post-traumatic stress is part of the picture. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and offers space to reframe those stories in collaboration with the clinician.These approaches are offered in a collaborative manner: Karen partners with clients to choose methods that match the issues they bring and the pace they prefer. Sessions explore practical skills, patterns of thought, and the personal meaning of experiences, shifting between short-term problem solving and deeper narrative or psychodynamic work as needed.
Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Each format is used to facilitate conversation, skill practice, memory processing, or reflective narrative work depending on the client's goals and the selected therapeutic approach.
