About Karen

Dr. Karen Owen is a bilingual clinical psychologist licensed in New Jersey (NJ Psychologist 35SI00564700) who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

Trained in client-centered methods as well as evidence-based trauma and emotion-focused therapies, she helps people make sense of difficult emotions and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's pace and goals while addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.

Dr. Owen’s background includes substantial training in approaches that support emotional processing and behavior change.

She also attends to relationship and intimacy-related issues, family dynamics, parenting and fertility-related concerns, and work-related stress including compassion fatigue. Bilingual services are offered in English and Spanish, and she draws on a multicultural perspective when working with clients from diverse backgrounds.

Sessions are available through several online formats to increase access and flexibility for people living in New Jersey and beyond.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Emotional Healing

Dr. Owen uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, collaborative environment where the client’s experience guides the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and working at a comfortable pace to clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also central to her practice and offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) may be used to explore emotional patterns and strengthen emotional regulation and connection, which can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and relational distress.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a joint process. She works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning their care and confident about the direction of treatment.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints, while preserving continuity of care when life circumstances change.
