About Karen
Karen Jacobs-White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 40 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and depression.

Work may involve clearer communication, coping skills for pain or illness, or managing urges around substance use. Her background includes long-term work with people facing caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the fallout of divorce or separation. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, codependency, guilt and shame, and isolation.
The practice includes support for people dealing with chronic health challenges and co-morbid conditions. Karen draws on several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. Those approaches can guide how sessions are shaped and what practical exercises might be used between appointments.
The focus stays on what will help the client make steady, realistic changes. People often seek her help when life feels overwhelming or stuck. She offers straightforward conversations, tools to manage mood and behavior, and steady encouragement through transitions.

Online support
How these approaches work in online therapy
Gottman Method focuses on improving how people communicate and handle conflict by teaching concrete skills for interaction and emotional connection. It can be helpful when relationship patterns cause repeated problems and when people want clearer ways to talk through issues.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes when old habits get in the way.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead. This approach supports people who need a steady, empathic space to figure things out and to build confidence in their choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and can combine elements from different approaches as needed. Clients and the therapist review progress and adjust the plan together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for short check-ins or quick coaching between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
