About Karie
Karie Leduc, LICSW, draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She offers steady, practical support for everyday struggles that get in the way of decision making and daily functioning. Sessions are aimed at helping people understand what keeps them stuck and at finding clear steps forward.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She combines close listening with active engagement in sessions.
Background and approach
That means she will both reflect what she hears and offer specific ideas to try between visits. Emotions and unspoken signals matter in her work, and she pays attention to body language and tone as part of the conversation.
People come to her for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy questions, ADHD, grief, parenting stress, and sleep or eating problems. She also supports those facing career shifts, bipolar mood management, compassion fatigue, and struggles with anger or self-esteem. Her approach treats these as connected pieces of a person’s life rather than separate problems.
Karie spent many years in community mental health before moving into independent practice. She brings practical skills learned in varied settings to quieter one-on-one work. She helps people identify strengths to build on and small changes that can ease daily life.
Her practice offers flexible scheduling and multiple session formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. People who prefer to try therapy online or by phone can choose the format that best fits their routine and comfort.
How evidence-based approaches meet online convenience
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on feelings, behavior, and practical problem solving. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, and decision-making by breaking problems into manageable steps. Another approach pays close attention to emotion and nonverbal signals, helping people name and sit with strong feelings so those feelings become less overwhelming and guide useful change.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily demands. That collaborative plan can shift as progress is made or new challenges emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or get brief support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and try different formats to see what works best.
