About Karen
Karen House is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She takes a practical, problem-solving approach and aims to give clients tools they can use right away to feel better. Karen speaks in plain language and keeps sessions direct and focused on change.
Her work emphasizes building skills over time. Each session adds a new tool or strategy and checks how previous steps worked. Homework and simple activities are part of the process so progress continues between meetings.
Background and approach
Karen blends several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns, and the Gottman Method to address relationship dynamics when relevant. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Existential ideas when they fit the situation.
Over her career she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, mood concerns including bipolar and depression, and a range of family and communication challenges. She also helps with attachment concerns, codependency, and recovery from separation or domestic violence. Karen holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices from Colorado.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients internationally using online formats. The goal is steady, realistic progress and practical relief people can use in daily life.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Gottman Method work looks at how people communicate and solve problems together. Online sessions using these ideas focus on improving communication patterns, reducing conflict cycles, and practicing new interaction skills in real time. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding a person’s experience so they feel heard and supported; online conversations give space for reflection and empathy from the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete steps to change them, which can be practiced and reviewed easily during video or chat sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. Expect this to be a shared decision that can shift as progress is made or needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face discussion and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, homework review, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility for varied schedules and life demands while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
