More about Karen

  • LMHC

Welcome! I'm Karen Cowell, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I believe that everyone deserves a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to feel heard and understood.

I work with adolescents, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions to help you build coping skills, increase resilience, and create meaningful change.

Seeking therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of your journey. Together, we'll work toward your goals at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
