About Karen
Karen Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, and big life changes. Karen centers sessions on each person's strengths and works alongside them as they take first steps toward change.
Her work commonly addresses drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, and the emotional fallout from abuse. She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and communication problems.
How Karen works
First responder issues and concerns related to military service are part of her background as well. Karen uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns, manage strong feelings, and try new behaviors.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions are collaborative. Karen believes the client knows their story best and brings out what is already working.
She offers support, feedback, and tools to build coping skills and to make steady progress toward goals. Conversations are paced to the person's needs and comfort level. Over time clients learn new ways to handle cravings, reduce flashbacks or panic, improve communication, and rebuild confidence.
Karen aims to help people feel more capable and more in control of their next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Karen commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. Trauma-focused therapy looks directly at the effects of past events and uses methods to reduce flashbacks, nightmares, and overwhelming memories.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice their bodies and thoughts without getting pulled into them. Mindfulness can be useful for reducing anxiety, managing strong emotions, and improving attention in everyday life. Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels tolerable, then adjust methods as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for a full-session conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins, practicing new skills, or when messaging feels easier than a call. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep a steady rhythm of support.
