More about me

Licensing: LICSW Years in Practice: 35 State: Alabama

Choosing therapy is self-care. Coping with life's challenges can be difficult. Your needs and feelings matter. Working with the right therapist can help one make positive change and growth managing their daily live and overall mental health.

I have extensive experience in the mental health and public health fields. I also have worked closely with adoptive parents and their children. My career has involved helping others with depression, stress, self-confidence, loss due to relationship and family changes, poor coping skills, and trauma.

Ensuring your confidentiality and demonstrating respect to you are my utmost priorities. Working together to set goals, make change, and understand your feelings and behavior can be accomplished together. Feeling better and moving forward with a new perspective can make life more manageable and enjoyable. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

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 is amazing! Supportive, relatable and supportive . She has the been in the industry for years and has helped me implement strategies that have vastly improved my life. She is the best!

Ms. Karen is very approachable, easy to talk too, and non-judgmental. She has been a great support in dealing with my anxiety, depression, and several life issues. She has helped with grief of losing a spouse to adjusting to a new job, a new spouse, and other life changes. I strongly recommend Ms. Karen to anyone that needs an ear. Also, Betterhelp is cost effective as well as convenient with my work schedule.

Talking with Karen about things has been very helpful. I appreciate her insights very much! Would definitely recommend!

Karen has helped me see things I couldn't see before.

My experience with my therapist, Karen, has been positive and rewarding. She understands my situation and challenges . I look forward to our sessions and always feel great after we speak. I have recommended this app to several people including my adult children.

Karen listens to how I’m feeling and gives great advice and ideas on how I could handle the things I’m dealing with. I really appreciate that she listens and understands what I’m going through.

I strongly recommend her for therapy if you are dealing with anger, depression, guilt, shame, and anxiety. I haven't been in therapy very long but so far she listens without judgment, is caring, checks up on me, gives me worksheets that help, and gives feedback on how I need to deal with my situation. I recommend her to anyone dealing with multiple issues.

Karen has been so helpful and understanding in helping me get over some of my past traumas. Highly recommend!

Karen has been nothing short of amazing.

Working with Karen has been wonderful, just what I needed to help me get to a place where I could accept a situation, that I can’t change. She was a perfect fit for me and my issues. I’m extremely grateful!

Nice lady

The best therapist I’ve worked with!

Karen has made a huge difference in my mental health and personal relationships. I feel like I am taking meaningful steps in my life towards becoming a more caring and happy person through her help and advice.

Karen is very easy to talk to and she understands what my needs are.

I’ve only had one session so far, but am really pleased and happy with this app and Mrs. Karen. I like the fact that she reaches out in between session and not just talk to me only at session time.

Karen has helped me tremendously. She suggested an EMDR therapist who has helped and she has provided a safe space for me to discuss my multiple traumas. I felt better almost immediately just being able to have someone help me.

Absolutely amazing therapist. So glad I was paired with Karen she has been very helpful on my journey
