About
Karin Fils-Aime is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who has spent years pursuing a lifelong calling to support others through counseling. Long before therapy became her profession, she was drawn to listening closely, noticing patterns in people’s struggles, and offering thoughtful perspective, not as quick advice, but as a way to help others feel understood and less alone with what they are carrying.
Today, she brings that same steady, attentive presence to her work, pairing it with clinical skill to help clients navigate what they are going through right now, while also making sense of what they have lived through. Karin leans toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that explores the link between thoughts and emotions. In everyday terms, it means looking at the messages a person tells themselves and considering whether those messages are helping or hurting the way they want to feel.
Her goal is to help clients move toward feeling as well as possible within their real circumstances, including the impact of painful past experiences. She believes that even after very difficult life events, it can still be possible to create more peace and steadiness, and she welcomes the chance to work alongside people who are ready to explore that possibility.

Using CBT and Trauma-Focused Care in Online Therapy
Karin Fils-Aime integrates practical, skills-based approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In CBT, clients learn to notice unhelpful self-talk, test new perspectives, and practice coping strategies that can support stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday overwhelm.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, which helps clients make sense of difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. This approach can support people who feel stuck in patterns shaped by past events, including heightened worry, emotional reactivity, or a persistent sense of being on guard. The work often centers on building stability in the present while gently understanding how the past still shows up.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karin collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting the work over time so therapy remains relevant and supportive.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access support from home, and stay engaged with consistent check-ins between sessions.
