About Karen
Karen Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience based in Oklahoma. She works with people facing substance use addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, post-traumatic stress, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses anger, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and career-related stress.
She uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that can change daily routines and reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to examine thinking patterns and test new responses.
Her work also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are weighing change and need clear, respectful support to move forward. Trauma-Focused Therapy shapes how she approaches post-traumatic stress and abuse-related difficulties.
People can expect a straightforward style that emphasizes learning and practice between sessions. The therapist helps clients set short-term goals and track progress in measurable ways. Sessions often include skill-building, role practice, and planning for real-life challenges.
Karen combines her clinical approaches with practical problem solving. She aims to make therapy concrete and usable in day-to-day life. Prospective clients who want focused, skills-oriented work will find a clear structure to the sessions.
How CBT, DBT and mindfulness are used during online sessions
Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses in real situations. CBT sessions often involve setting small experiments, tracking situations, and practicing alternative reactions to decrease distress and improve functioning.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. DBT techniques focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness in everyday interactions. Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a tool to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce rumination and reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend approaches to try. Adjustments are made as needed based on how the work progresses.
