Karen Brown

Karen Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing big life stresses and changes. She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Karen listens without judgment and works with each person to find what actually helps them move forward.

She uses a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based approaches, and client-centered techniques. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. That work is aimed at reducing anxiety, managing mood swings, and improving relationships and daily functioning.

Karen has seven years of counseling experience and holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, Georgia. Her practice includes support for grief and end-of-life concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, and other complex challenges. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and career transitions.

Her style is trauma-informed and strength-based. Sessions typically blend skill teaching with emotional processing and practical problem solving. Karen aims to help people rebuild routines, repair patterns that cause harm, and identify steps they can take between meetings.

To begin, she asks people to share their immediate concerns so therapy can focus on real problems. The goal is steady, usable progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice inner experiences and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can help someone learn to accept difficult emotions while building a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Through virtual meetings a person practices new thinking and behavior changes with guidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and relationship challenges. Remote work can include skill coaching and stepwise practice of these tools.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what’s been tried before. Together they will choose or adapt methods so sessions focus on the most helpful work for that individual.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online work useful because it fits into busy schedules, cuts travel time, and makes follow-up easier between meetings. Online sessions also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone continue steady progress during life transitions without needing to rearrange their day.
