About Karen
Karen Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with grief, career struggles, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Karen keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens first, then helps clients set short-term goals they can try between visits. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches to change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
How Karen works
Trauma-informed care is a central part of her work. That means she pays attention to how past harm shows up now and helps people develop coping skills. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and to address issues like low motivation or substance use.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She works with each person to prioritize goals and choose techniques that fit their life. The pace and focus adjust as needed so progress feels manageable.
Karen values cultural awareness and brings her background into sessions in ways that matter for each person. She offers appointments through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy schedules. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to clarify goals and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then recommend methods that fit. That collaborative process can include trying techniques and adjusting them over time.
Online formats make it easier to get care around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
