About Karen

Karen Grace is a licensed counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Missouri with nine years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD, and LGBT-related matters, among other areas. Her training and background also encompass complex topics such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, BDSM and kink, blended family dynamics, chronic illness and pain, and substance use concerns.

Her style is described as warm, open, and interactive, and she works collaboratively with each person to develop tailored treatment plans that reflect individual goals. Karen draws from multiple evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Jungian perspectives to shape a flexible therapeutic process.

She values nonjudgmental engagement and aims to meet clients where they are while supporting practical steps toward change. Karen offers services in English and accepts international clients, providing sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Her practice uses a subscription model with cancel-anytime flexibility, and session availability varies by location and schedule.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions while building a meaningful direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns by using practical skills and structured exercises. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distress linked to traumatic memories by guiding adaptive information processing, which can be useful for people coping with trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Karen works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, integrating techniques from different modalities when that combination seems most helpful. The therapeutic plan is adjusted over time based on progress and client feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from varied locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into busy lives, and they support ongoing collaboration between therapist and client regardless of geography.
