About Karen
Karen Perry is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues like ADHD, addictions, trauma, and anger. She also supports people navigating polyamory and other non-monogamous relationship arrangements.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are respectful and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients set practical goals that fit their life.
How Karen works
Karen blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, while also teaching tools to change unhelpful thoughts and strengthen present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing and emotionally-focused ideas are brought in when exploring motivation and relationship patterns.
In a typical session she works with clients to identify small, manageable steps. She uses short exercises, reflective conversation, and skill-building homework when helpful. The aim is to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning, one step at a time.
Karen is licensed as an LMFT in Arizona and Oklahoma. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Getting started involves completing a brief questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s routine.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Karen often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead to understand what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and builds a partnership for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills.She also integrates emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns and attachment-style issues come up. That helps people notice interaction habits and try new ways of connecting. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while still working toward meaningful change.
