About Karen
Karen Ann Marshalleck is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with six years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, depression, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses issues such as body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, loneliness, and workplace stress.
She uses practical, structured methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work and is used to identify thinking patterns and try different responses. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and track small, achievable changes.
Sessions are described as conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through specific problems, practice new ways of responding, and review what works between meetings. The approach emphasizes short-term steps that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Her background in family therapy informs how she approaches relationship and family issues while working with individuals. She pays attention to cultural and multicultural concerns and to how experiences of prejudice or discrimination affect wellbeing. That perspective is applied when addressing women’s issues and life purpose concerns.

How CBT and solution-focused work online
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. In practice this means identifying specific thinking patterns, trying alternative responses, and reviewing what changed. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and searching for what already works; sessions often map small next steps to build momentum.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend starting points. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video or audio depending on bandwidth or comfort. The therapist will discuss which format best supports the goals set in early sessions and how to structure meetings to fit everyday life.
