About Karen

Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings several years of clinical work helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and supportive for people who are unsure where to begin.

She creates a calm space for clients to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities, whether that means easing anxiety, building confidence, or coping after a loss. The tone is collaborative and practical, with attention to small steps that fit into daily life.

Karen uses approaches that match each person’s goals. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas are used when present-focused awareness or short-term goal work will help move things forward.

Her work is aimed at people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, career strain, parenting challenges, and identity issues, among other areas. She also supports people managing symptoms related to trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and grief. The focus is on practical strategies and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Starting therapy begins with a simple match and scheduling step. Karen encourages honesty about what a client needs and adjusts pace and tools as goals evolve.

How Karen’s Approaches Translate Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect what the client says and help people find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior to build practical skills. Online CBT sessions often include clear strategies to practice between meetings and check progress each week.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Karen will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay focused on what matters most to each person.

The original biography does not list which remote session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other commitments. Online work can support skill-building, coping with anxiety, and planning steps for life changes without changing the core therapeutic process.
