About Karlene

She tailors her approach to each person’s needs, balancing active skill-building with opportunities simply to be heard. Whether a client seeks short-term help for a specific issue or ongoing support through a life transition, Karlene focuses on realistic goals, clear expectations, and steady progress. She encourages people to try different ways of connecting and to discover which format best supports their healing and growth.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Karlene draws from client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s voice guides the work. This approach emphasizes understanding each person’s experience and supporting them in setting meaningful goals and making choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Karlene approaches treatment collaboratively - she will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adapt techniques and pace to find the most effective path forward, blending skill-building and reflective work as appropriate.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their schedule and comfort. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistency, access licensed professionals from home, and continue care through life transitions and busy periods.
