    About Karen

    Karen Perry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue, and polyamory or other non-monogamous relationship questions. Karen brings a calm, respectful approach to sessions and aims to make a first conversation feel possible and clear.

    Her style is warm and interactive. She listens first, then helps people set realistic, understandable goals. Conversations are practical and focused on what will make day-to-day life feel better. She works with each person to shape a plan that fits their needs.

    Karen uses Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered methods. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform work on closeness and connection when relationships or intimacy are part of the concern.

    Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the individual. Karen guides people through small, achievable changes rather than promising quick fixes. She encourages self-compassion while addressing tough problems directly.

    With 17 years of clinical experience and licenses in multiple states, Karen brings practical know-how to common life struggles. People who want a respectful, goal-focused conversation about their stress, relationships, or recovery often find this style helpful.

  2. How Karen’s approaches work online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It uses curious, nonjudgmental questions to uncover what matters most and to build internal motivation for steps forward. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to tell their story while the therapist reflects and supports their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for managing symptoms and changing unhelpful patterns.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Karen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, combining elements as needed. That way the plan grows from what the person wants to achieve and what feels manageable for them.

    Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the original profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also gives flexibility for clients who live outside Oklahoma or who prefer remote meetings, while the therapist and client agree on a plan that suits their needs.
