About Karen
Karen House is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Colorado with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, LGBT issues, family matters, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression.
Karen uses practical, problem-focused work in sessions. She aims to help people leave a first meeting with one or two tools they can try right away. Sessions build on those tools over time while addressing new issues as they appear.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas. She also uses existential reflections and EMDR for trauma when appropriate. That mix is used to help people understand patterns, change unhelpful behaviors, and process strong emotions.
People who come to Karen should expect an interactive process. She listens closely, helps identify what is getting in the way, and suggests exercises and short homework tasks between sessions. That practical follow-through is part of the work rather than optional background reading.
Her background includes long experience with first responders and military communities, including active duty service members, veterans, and their spouses and families. Karen conducts sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the United States, though prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places focus on the client's perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person identify what matters most. This approach supports people working through family tension, grief, or parenting stress by centering their experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses concrete exercises and short homework tasks to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions and attachment needs, which can be helpful when anger, relationship distress, or codependency are involved.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together the client and therapist choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine techniques so the plan can shift as new issues appear.
The original biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible for people outside the therapist's immediate area to work with a licensed professional, while practical details like scheduling, length, and frequency are agreed on at intake.
