About Karen
Karen Epple is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and grief. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her style is warm and direct, with room for gentle humor when it feels right.
She draws on three decades of experience in a variety of settings. Karen uses practical tools to ease symptoms and build everyday habits that make life feel more workable.
Background and approach
She supports people facing life changes, caregiving strain, sleep problems, and issues that affect self-esteem and motivation. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused strategies. That means sessions often include goal setting, simple skill practice, and short exercises to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Karen offers tangible steps you can try between meetings. Karen also has experience with aging and geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and domestic violence related issues. She helps people explore life purpose, forgiveness, self-love, and smoking or vaping cessation when those areas come up.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients as well. She provides therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for you.
Karen typically meets in the late afternoon and early evening on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Her practice focuses on steady, practical progress so people can regain more ease and enjoyment in daily life.
Approaches and flexible online sessions
Karen blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy with a practical focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you identify patterns of thinking that worsen anxiety or depression and teaches simple techniques to change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy offers short exercises to calm the mind and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with stress, sleep, and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust plans as needed so the chosen approach fits your life and feels useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins fit well by text or chat, and asynchronous messaging lets you share thoughts between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
