More about me

Licensing: LMHC Years in Practice: 9 State: New York

Welcome!! I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. My approach with clients is engaging and interactive, and I am invested in the collaborative process, which I believe is inherent to the therapeutic relationship. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment finding balance between active listening, empathy, support, and behavioral interventions. I will help you identify and better understand choices, ways of thinking about situations, and behavioral patterns that may be getting in the way of living your life to the fullest. In our work together, we will focus on thought patterns, symptom reduction, improvement in mood and functioning and improved ways of relating to others and the world. I believe that individual has the capacity for change, wellness, and healing.

My passion is to help others reach their maximum potential and find a sense of peace in their lives. I believe in identifying your strengths, combining them with healthy coping skills, and replacing your negative thinking as ways to help you overcome your current obstacles. I tailor my work with people depending on the specific needs of each client. I use short term, recovery oriented interventions to allow people to take immediate steps, creating momentum in their lives, while addressing deeper issues that may be more subtle, or illusive with longer term strategies.

I strive to assist my clients in achieving personal growth and increased happiness. I have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with a variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, parenting issues, relationships, domestic abuse, and stress management.

I believe strongly in a non-judgmental approach to therapy, and I offer an emotionally safe space where you can explore important life issues in an authentic way.

I hope that our work together will support you in your personal growth and your pursuit of a more fulfilling life.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Karen really listens to me and gives me time to respond which I appreciate and value so much. She keeps me on track. She is the perfect counselor for me.

Karen listens without judgment and she is very helpful.

Karen is great. She is very easy to talk to and with each session, I feel she gives me something tangible and practical to use in my life. She is compassionate and nonjudgmental. I feel she sees me as a person rather than a patient or client or someone with mental health issues. She is approachable, professional, warm and good at what she does!

Karen is very helpful and very professional. There is a sense of comfort while talking to her that makes it easy to open up. She is very patient when I give long-winded answers to questions she asks.

I have really enjoyed working with Karen! She has been kind and insightful and I felt comfortable with her from the start. She has a unique way of helping me get to the root of what I'm feeling and why. Our time together has been helpful.

Karen is a fantastic counselor! While I was working with her, she was always kind, responsive, and easy to talk to. I never felt judged or uncomfortable talking with her about personal topics. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

She’s incredible, smart( sensitive and professional!

Karen is the most compassionate, empathetic, and knowledgeable therapist I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She is extremely professional and has a keen eye for underlying issues. I am very grateful to her for helping me make so much progress.

She is a great therapist and is respectful and understanding. People say it’s hard to find a therapist that suits you but on my second try I found karen and have stuck with her since.

Karen is a wonderful therapist that truly understands a mothers point of view. I really liked talking to her ❤️

I have made significant improvement with Karen. These sessions have really helped me.

I am so thankful for my therapist. She is so kind and respectful and asks very insightful questions to help me work out my problems.

I have not had the pleasure of working with Karen for a while but I found it to be so amazing. She always made me feel important and listen to. If anyone ever gets her as their counselor they are very very lucky.

Karen brings a thoughtful, warm attitude and a sense of humor to therapy. I really appreciate that she’s not afraid to ask difficult questions or push back on things I’ve said. I feel really heard!

She’s so great

Karen Murray is a great and understanding therapist. She makes me feel understood and helps teach me a smarter way of leading my life!

Karen is just an amazing human being. She is kind, understanding and very knowledgeable. Bringing out a different perspective each conversation we have challenges me to continue to really think about my actions and my thoughts. I highly recommend her.....

Karen is a wonderful therapist. She listens, provides great insight, and has helped me tremendously.

Cant says enough good thugs about Karen- It’s unfortunate that in today’s vernacular “Karen” is a pejorative, an insult or something that one shouldn’t want to be- every time i hear Karen used as an adjective I think of my counselor Karen and BetterHelp and she’s absolutely the opposite of the modern definition of the name.

Karen is just awesome and reaches out to me if I don't. She has been a tremendous help and I really appreciate all her expertise

She is Great knowable and caring

Karen gives me specific strategies to deal with difficult situations. She is very compassionate.

Karen really helped me when I was at my lowest. I had just lost my beloved dog, was overweight and on top of that: there was a pandemic. She guided me and listened to me. I felt that she helped me tremendously.

Karen is one of the most professional, smart, and knowledgeable person I am blessed to have been paired up with. She is very patient and kind....i highly recommend her....

Karen helped me through some very hard things, after my mother died. She listens, first and foremost, and without judgement, and she offers help that feels practical and grounded. We all can use kindness like hers. I can honestly say I don't think I'd be here without her help!

Karen is very patient and attentive. She really listens and offers constructive feedback. She even shared great articles that are helpful to me and my fiancé.

I just started with Ms.Karen and she has been so kind,patient and understanding.

Karen is very insightful. And gives a very intelligent perspective to situations. Suggests exercises that are useful.

Karen is amazing and very professional. She goes above and beyond to help . She is also very caring. Right now, I am going through cancer and have not been on here as much as I use to. From time to time, she reach out to me and checking up on me to see how I’m doing and make sure I’m okay. I definitely recommend Karen to everyone.

Karen is very responsive and empathetic. She offers excellent perspective and I find conferring with her to be very helpful. One of the things I love about BetterHelp is it provides a totally neutral forum to talk about things that I would rather not bring up with my family or friends. It is super convenient and confidential also. A+!

Karen has helped me a lot to find ways to deal with anxiety and procrastination. She has been always respectful, supportive, and very professional. She listens with kindness and patience. I am glad to have her as my therapist and I would recommend her a hundred percent.

I greatly enjoy working with Karen. It’s extremely easy to share with her. She gives you all the time you need, and helps me find the answer myself. Karen is a great specialist and she knows what she’s doing. She has raised a lot of questions in me and tried to guide me through everything. I’m very grateful!

Karen has been nothing but helpful from day one! I have been working with her for a few months now, and I truly feel a sense of healing taking place from within. Even when I'm having a good day, Karen provides me with a space to share and feedback and guidance. Karen is absolutely wonderful. Thank you Karen for all of your help! I appreciate you.

Karen is helpful, kind and very approachable. Karen makes therapy a non-stressful and inviting experience. She has helped me a lot since I have been working with her and she is very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Karen.

Karen has helped me understand the root of my anxiety and has given me some tools to apply in my every day life to make it better. I am very grateful to her and I highly recommend her.

My sessions with Karen left me feeling positive and hopeful. She is an attentive listener, very interactive and gives great, gentle feedback. She has a great way of delivering feedback or insights in an easily digestible way that helps me simplify all the crazy messaging in my head. Highly recommend!

Karen got to know my needs and my goals quickly. She helps me every single session. I’d recommend her to anyone.

Although I’ve only started working with Karen recently, she has been very helpful. She promptly responds, makes herself available and has already provided constructive advice. I would recommend Karen to anyone in need of a great therapist.

I feel completely comfortable and safe speaking with Karen. She offers a variety of ways to speak/communicate with her, and she listens to me and my concerns/feelings. Finding someone to actually listen and has the ability to hear you, is so hard to find these days. There is no one in my area that I feel as comfortable with as I do as Karen. Karen is a great example of what Better Help can offer. I highly recommend Karen to anyone who wants/needs their feelings to be heard.

Karen is a great therapist. She was able to help me narrow down the cause of any issue I encounter which gives me direction on how to resolve it. I like how she asked me questions that help me feel comfortable in opening up and trusting the process of healing. I also like how she listens and pays attention to most of the things I share with her.

Karen is always available and always listens intently to my concerns. She provides feedback I can really use, and BetterHelp has made it possible for me to get counseling on demand whenever I need it.

Karen is a very kind and caring therapist, she has helped me sort through my chaos of thoughts and has pointed out correlations with things I don't think I would have ever been able to come to a conclusion with. I would highly recommend her to anyone that feels ‘all over the place’. I truly appreciate Karen for simply being there for me.

Karen has been very helpful in making me realize my potential to have control over my circumstances! I highly recommend working with Karen.

Karen and I have “met” once, but I was impressed. My first experience online. Much easier with my schedule.

Karen was very understanding

Karen has been really helpful. She is helping me shift my POV about things I have been struggling with and holding on to. I am so grateful to have connected with her.

Karen is professional, attentive, patient, and knowledgeable. She was able to clearly outline the problems that I was dealing with through conversations that were encouraging and supportive, and thus was not only a comforting listening ear, but was also able to provide actionable steps and guidance in order to help me improve my mental and emotional state. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone seeking to better understand or work through their own emotional circumstances!

Karen Murray is very empathetic, and so far very comfortable to talk to.

I have had only had one session with Karen Murray . I felt comfortable and she seemed super knowledgeable. I am very much looking forward to continuing working with her ..

I would highly recommend Karen. Within a short period of time she gave me insight and tools to help with self care, positive thinking and helped me understand and pinpoint where some of my anxiety was coming from.
