How Karen works
Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when someone needs support finding the drive to change. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions goal-oriented and concrete. Karen began her career at the New York Department of Children and Families and later earned a master’s degree in counseling.
Over 22 years she has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, gaining experience with mood disorders, substance use, conduct issues, and family conflict. Her background includes work with adults across a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. In sessions she aims to make the process manageable.
People can expect direct, practical steps and tools to try between meetings. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort where small changes add up over time. Her bilingual ability lets her communicate with a wider range of people.
Karen combines long experience with a down-to-earth style to help people move toward clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.

Online support options
Practical approaches for online support
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and daily functioning. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation when they feel stuck. That method is often helpful for addictions, impulsivity, and when someone is unsure about making changes.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then suggest methods to try. Sessions adjust as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is not ideal. Live chat and text messaging can serve as brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
