About Karen
LCSW-C (Maryland) with 15 years of experience. Karen Koski-Miller helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and career questions using practical talk and goal-focused methods.
Karen keeps sessions direct and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to identify unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and build motivation for change. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps people can try between meetings.
Clients can expect straightforward reflection and collaborative problem solving. Conversations address communication challenges, caregiver stress, workplace issues, forgiveness, and midlife adjustments. The approach emphasizes what to try next rather than lengthy theory talks.
Karen draws on a decade and a half of practice in Maryland to guide pacing and goals. She helps people clarify priorities and set practical targets for relationships, work, and emotional coping. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted when needed.
The style is practical and focused on actions that fit everyday life. People who want clear feedback, concrete skills, and help sustaining motivation may find this useful. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thoughts that increase anxiety or stress and to practice different responses. CBT sessions typically include identifying patterns, trying behavioral experiments, and setting small homework tasks to test what works.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to boost commitment to change. That approach helps people clarify their reasons for change, resolve mixed feelings, and set achievable goals. It is often used when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust the approach over time. That means approaches can shift toward skills practice, decision-focused talk, or a blend based on how the client responds.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the offered formats before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, arrange sessions around work hours, or avoid commuting when time is limited.
