About Karen
Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings nine years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or major life changes. Karen speaks plain language and aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable.
She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills and clearer ways to handle difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Karen encourages small, steady changes that build confidence and motivation over time. Her work often addresses emotional strain from grief, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing challenges with addiction, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and career or parenting stress.
The approach is tailored to each person’s situation rather than using the same plan for everyone. Karen draws from client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead and from cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to strengthen present-moment coping and set concrete goals.
She will work with clients to decide which tools fit best. People who want practical strategies and a calm, respectful therapist often find this approach helpful. Karen’s aim is to empower people to manage symptoms, make clearer choices, and move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.
How Karen’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and shapes sessions around what the person says matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings and make priorities clearer. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it offers specific tools and step-by-step practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt what’s used based on how well it fits. That collaborative process helps people settle on practical strategies that match their daily life and preferences.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people use shorter, flexible check-ins throughout the week and keep momentum between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
