Karen Sollberger , LPC

Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with nine years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress and anxiety, seeking motivation, building self-esteem and confidence, coping with depression, and navigating life changes. Her approach emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

She recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and she aims to support and empower clients through that journey. Karen collaborates with each person to meet them where they are, encouraging practical steps and personal insight that align with the client’s values and goals. Her practice centers on respect, empathy, and a focus on the client as the expert on their own experience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Karen brings client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a supportive relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and make choices that reflect their values. It is useful for people seeking acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and gradual change.

CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes tools and exercises that address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to manage symptoms and respond differently to challenging situations. Mindfulness therapy is also used to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress, which can complement other approaches.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Karen works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to maintain regular care around work, family, and other commitments while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
