About Karen

Karen Mohammed-Perry is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She works with clients facing relationship and family challenges, grief and loss, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, anger and career-related stress, and other life transitions. Her practice also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and a range of personality and co-morbid conditions.

Her therapeutic stance blends evidence-based techniques with a respectful, culturally sensitive approach. She draws on client-centered principles to create a collaborative space, and integrates cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to develop practical skills and insight.

Narrative elements are used when helpful to explore personal stories and meaning. Ms.

Mohammed-Perry emphasizes tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific circumstances and goals. Beginning therapy is framed as a courageous step toward greater fulfillment, and she offers supportive guidance through the process.

Her focus is on helping clients build motivation, strengthen coping skills, and move toward clearer purpose and improved day-to-day functioning.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Support



Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and building a collaborative relationship so that clients feel heard and empowered to set their own goals. This approach is helpful for people seeking a respectful, individualized space to explore personal challenges and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and self-regulation strategies that aid emotional balance and can support recovery from trauma or difficulties with attention.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods over time to find the best fit. That collaborative stance helps shape a treatment plan that feels achievable and aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care while managing busy schedules or geographic limits. These formats provide flexibility in how and when clients communicate, allowing therapeutic work to continue in ways that integrate with daily life and promote steady progress.
