About Karen

Karen Andrews is an LPC practicing in Connecticut with 14 years of clinical experience helping people manage complicated emotional and relational concerns. She builds a warm, supportive atmosphere that encourages clients to examine stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood-related challenges while exploring practical ways to move forward.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses self-esteem, grief, eating and anger issues, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD among a broader range of concerns. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s story, combining mindfulness and client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies.

Karen pays attention to attachment patterns and communication habits, and she helps clients develop clearer ways to relate to themselves and others. Practical skill-building and reflective exploration are woven together so clients can identify strengths, practice new responses, and pursue clearer goals for their daily lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Karen integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as anchor approaches when working remotely. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a respectful space where clients can speak freely and discover their own solutions, which is useful for self-esteem, life purpose work, and relational concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, supporting issues such as anxiety, mood regulation, and problem-focused change.

The choice of approach is collaborative and may evolve over time. Karen works with each client to determine which strategies best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and she adapts methods during the course of care so the work stays relevant and effective for the individual's situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from Connecticut, fit therapy into busy routines, and practice new skills between synchronous meetings.
