About Karen
Karen Epple is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with 30 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with grief, depression, anxiety, stress, sleep problems, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients may be accepted.
She uses straightforward, practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit alongside mindfulness and solution-focused work. In sessions she will help identify patterns, test small changes, and build doable coping steps.
Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and issues people face after domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, finding life purpose, forgiveness, smoking or vaping cessation, and women's issues.
Karen draws on three decades of practice across varied clinical settings. That breadth gives her a range of concrete techniques to suggest when someone is feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She aims to help people reestablish routine, improve sleep, and manage everyday stressors.
Practical tasks and short experiments are often part of sessions. Clients can expect clear goals, homework that fits daily life, and repeated review of what is or is not working. Her approach emphasizes gradual change through repeated, manageable steps.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Karen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help with stress and sleep. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on current strengths and small, practical steps that move daily life forward.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and routines, and will adjust the plan based on what proves most useful in weekly check-ins.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people try focused CBT exercises, practice mindfulness between meetings, and use solution-focused tasks in everyday settings without reshaping a whole day.
