About Karen

Karen Brown is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people facing a wide range of life challenges, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and trauma. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to help clients move from feeling overwhelmed toward clearer choices and healthier patterns.

Background and approach

Her style emphasizes strength-based work and practical strategies to manage stress, anger, relationship concerns, and shifts in life roles. With seven years of clinical experience in Georgia, Karen integrates cognitive and skills-based methods with attachment-informed perspectives to address both emotional symptoms and underlying relational dynamics.

She draws on evidence-informed tools to restructure unhelpful thinking, reduce impulsive or addictive behaviors, and support recovery and personal growth. The goal is to help each person build sustainable coping skills and a tailored plan for lasting change.

Clients can expect an individualized, empathetic approach that honors cultural and personal background while focusing on achievable goals. Karen uses an integrative, client-centered framework designed to meet people where they are and guide them toward improved functioning, clearer values, and stronger relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online



Karen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and behavioral patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support people coping with intense feelings or impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts strategies over time to support progress and learning.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy schedule. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide skills training, supportive processing, and structured interventions without requiring travel, while preserving continuity of care when in-person options are limited.
