About Karen
Karen House is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience practicing in Colorado. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. Sessions are practical and problem-focused, with an emphasis on learning tools to use between meetings.
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches. She aims to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions typically include concrete strategies and short exercises to practice outside of therapy.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across many presenting issues, including sleep problems, anger, codependency, communication difficulties, and challenges after separation or disaster. She also lists work related to first responder experiences and substance-related concerns. This experience informs how she frames practical steps and coping strategies.
Karen asks clients to engage actively in the process. Between-session tasks are part of the plan so progress can be tracked and adjusted. The work tends to be structured - building on prior sessions and adding tools as new needs emerge.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online options button.
How Karen combines structured methods with online sessions
Karen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that keep problems going. CBT gives concrete steps and short exercises to try between meetings, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and addiction-related patterns.She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy by listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person reports is most pressing. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify and work with strong emotions and relationship-related patterns when those issues appear in therapy.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Karen will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then suggest one or a mix of methods to try. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps and what new issues arise.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit focused, skills-based sessions into a busy week. It also supports shorter check-ins, practicing tools in daily life, and keeping continuity when travel or relocation occurs. Licensed professionals can explain format details and help arrange sessions that fit a client’s schedule and practical needs.
