About Karen
Karen Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar, grief, anger, eating concerns, ADHD, and family-related struggles. She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients.
Her style is direct and person-focused. She listens to what matters most and helps people sort priorities. Sessions often include practical skills for managing intense emotions and everyday stressors. She also helps clients untangle communication problems that make home life harder.
Karen draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centered methods to follow the concerns the person brings each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are offered for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Work often centers on clearer communication, boundary-setting, and handling conflict without escalation. She helps people who are coping with divorce and separation, addiction concerns, or changes tied to identity and life purpose. She also supports those dealing with loneliness, guilt, shame, and issues around body image.
Practical steps are emphasized in sessions. That can mean short experiments between meetings, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, or structured problem-solving for a specific family issue. To begin, readers should follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present behavior. Online sessions can focus on patterns that show up in adult relationships and how to build trust and clearer communication with others.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes what the person brings each week. The therapist follows the client’s concerns, offering reflective listening and support while helping the client decide what to address next.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools for changing thought patterns and behaviors. When someone struggles with anxiety, mood changes, or anger, CBT offers short exercises and homework to practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted based on what is most helpful for the person.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use different communication styles such as speaking or working quietly on exercises during a meeting.
