About Karen
Karen Delillo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, or depression. She also supports those facing major life changes and the emotional impact of hospice or end-of-life situations.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard feelings. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to find practical steps that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Karen encourages small, manageable changes so progress feels realistic. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, eating issues, and attention-related struggles such as ADHD. Karen has spent two decades supporting clients through major transitions and loss. Her experience in hospice and end-of-life counseling informs how she talks about grief and difficult decisions.
Clients can expect a steady, patient presence while they sort through emotions. Sessions are offered in English and are held remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Karen works with each person to set goals and follow a pace that feels right for them.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses involve building practical skills and processing difficult memories. Skill-building focuses on teaching concrete coping tools for anxiety, anger, and daily stress so people can try small changes between sessions. Memory-focused work helps process trauma and grief by gently naming memories and reactions and finding ways to reduce their day-to-day hold.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns and try methods that match your goals and comfort level. You and the therapist will review what’s helping and adjust the plan as needed so the treatment fits your life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversations; phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between appointments and fit support into a busy day. These options aim to make it easier to attend sessions and keep momentum toward your goals.
