I've spoken to Michele on and off for two years now and she's a fantastic motivator and great at helping me see new perspectives during my relocation. I don't know how I could ever do it without her!
More about Karen
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LPC, LMHC
I am a therapist licensed in Missouri who has been practicing for over six years. I have experience in working with various range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, attachment disorders, substance abuse, sexual issues, and LGBTQIA + populations. I also have experience work with couples and family systems.
My counseling approach is warm, open and interactive. I enjoy working with each client to create a unique treatment plan that will ultimately help each client achieve their individual goals. I believe in coming to each session from a place of non-judgment and warm acceptance for where my clients are in their lives and what goals they are trying to achieve. I incorporate approaches from solution focused therapy, EMDR, narrative, DBT and feminist therapies to create a unique treatment approach with each client.
Seeking treatment is a step that requires courage and when you are ready to take that step I am here and excited to help you on your journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

I've spoken to Michele on and off for two years now and she's a fantastic motivator and great at helping me see new perspectives during my relocation. I don't know how I could ever do it without her!
My therapist gets me. She’s the best.
Karen is Incredibly helpful! Helped me tap into the real roots of my past and really has assisted me in leading a much more proactive and healthy life! I look forward to picking back up with Karen :)
Karen is really big hearted and kind, and one of the most supportive online therapists I've met. She sends journal prompts and affirmations every day to us, and she is available on messenger when you have a difficult moment. She really helped me to get over romantic challenges and my relocation into another country. And I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs a supportive therapist.
Michele is such a kind hearted person. I’ve made so much progress since having sessions with her and I now have loads of useful tips and tricks to use when I’m struggling. I always find our sessions useful and would recommend Michele to anyone!

Karen is the kindest and also the most honest therapist I have ever worked with! She listens, cheers you on and also keeps you in check with progress points. I highly recommend working with her as your therapist :)
Michelle is a great listener and responds to my issues with sound advice and wisdom.
She has been a great help for me when I was feeling overwhelmed by supporting my family through a pandemic, losing three close family members within 6 months and not knowing how to deal with it. I really appreciated having someone to talk to, she never pressured me to open up too much but gave me the space to talk about and experience my grief. She also gave me valuable advice and insights which I am regularly use when I begin to feel overwhelmed or fixated. Thank you!
She listens and understands. Offers excellent advice and feedback.
I have been working wither Karen (Michele) Grace for a couple of months now and I always feel supported and listened to during our sessions. She is empathetic and insightful. I highly recommend her!
Karen is wonderful, very easy to deal with
She’s a great listener and really makes me feel safe talking about issues.
Being a student in a worldwide pandemic has been difficult considering I deal with both anxiety and depression. My last option was BetterHelp as normal therapy or counselors are expensive and hard to track down with any insurance recently. Speaking with Karen gives me the opportunity to get feedback and thoughts about my pattern of thought when talking about myself. I feel more confident and more validated since speaking with her. It is a decision that made my quality of life overall better. I suggest it to anyone searching for help.
Karen Grace has already helped me a lot in a short period of time. She provides me with alternative ways of thinking about and dealing with things that I’ve struggled with for a while. She is a positive and active listener and I feel safe sharing my thoughts and feelings with her.
Karen is personable and professional. Provides realistic views of my concerns and allows me the opportunity to voice them in a confidential manner. She gives me the tools to view things from an alternate perspective in order to help me heal and grow
