About Karen

Karen Delillo is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She works with clients who face relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her practice also includes hospice and end-of-life counseling, addressing complex emotions that arise around loss and care decisions.

She emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Drawing on twenty years of clinical practice, Karen helps individuals develop coping skills and clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.

She recognizes that starting therapy requires courage and aims to support each person through practical strategies and empathetic listening tailored to their circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

This therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the client's needs. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills to manage stress and anxiety, teaching concrete strategies for regulating emotions and navigating everyday challenges. Another approach centers on grief and end-of-life counseling, helping people process loss, explore meaning, and find ways to carry forward while honoring difficult feelings.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to progress and setbacks.

Online therapy with this provider is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, the ability to continue care from different locations within the therapist's practice region, and multiple ways to communicate depending on comfort and need. Licensed professionals guide each session with a focus on practical support and emotional understanding.
