About Karen

LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with 17 years of experience. Karen Perry focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, ADHD, addiction concerns, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also has an additional focus on polyamory and non-monogamous relationship issues.

Karen uses a conversational, client-centered style. She listens to what matters to each person and adapts sessions accordingly. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing into the work when helpful.

Sessions often include practical skill work and clear, short-term goals. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try small behavior changes, and reflect on emotions and relationship patterns. Mindfulness exercises and cognitive reframes are common tools in her sessions.

Her work aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase day-to-day coping. For relationship and intimacy concerns she focuses on communication patterns and emotional connection. For issues like addiction or ADHD she uses motivational interviewing and structured CBT techniques to support behavior change.

Karen is licensed as an LMFT in Oklahoma and has nearly two decades of experience. She works in English and accepts international clients. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and preferences. It emphasizes listening, reflecting, and shaping sessions around what the person says is most important. This helps with stress, relationship worries, and general life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In session this looks like identifying thought patterns, testing them, and trying concrete behavior changes between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD challenges, and addiction-related goals.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and interaction patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice emotional cycles and practice new ways of relating when intimacy or trust is strained.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to focus on and how quickly to change course.

The original biography did not list specific session formats. Confirm what formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports doing mindfulness practices, behavioral experiments, and communication exercises from daily life contexts.
