Dr. Karen Kearby, LPC

Dr. Karen Kearby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a warm, interactive style to therapy. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her manner is compassionate and respectful, aimed at making conversations feel approachable and clear.

She uses a mix of client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. That means she listens first, helps set clear goals, and works with clients to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical strategies that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize collaboration and steady re-evaluation of progress.

Dr. Kearby has five years of clinical experience. Her background includes work in private practice, correctional settings, and military installations. Over that time she has supported people through anger and stress management, trauma recovery, life transitions, intimacy-related issues, bipolar-related concerns, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she focuses on developing ordinary, usable skills - for example thought-challenging, grounding, interpersonal communication, and short-term problem-solving. She encourages hopeful, step-by-step change rather than quick fixes. People are invited to set goals together and to track what helps between visits.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping clients define their own goals. It is useful for people who need a steady, understanding space to talk through relationship, grief, or self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and often involves homework like thought records or behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. Those skills are often helpful for managing intense emotions, anger, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will review progress and adjust strategies as needed rather than sticking to a single method.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and simpler access from different locations. Online work can make short check-ins or regular weekly sessions more feasible around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities. Because formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they match your schedule and needs.
