About Karen
Karen Peck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are navigating addiction, trauma, grief, and big life changes. Her approach centers on practical steps and steady support rather than jargon.
She encourages clients to use their own strengths to move forward. Karen works with people facing substance use and drug or alcohol addiction and those dealing with the effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress.
Background and approach
She also helps people manage anger, rebuild self-esteem, and sort career and parenting stresses. Sessions aim to identify what’s getting in the way and to try workable strategies that fit daily life. In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to set goals and test new ways of coping.
Mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques are used when helpful to address painful memories and reduce overwhelming reactions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
She frames the client as the expert on their story and offers guidance and skills to support change. Karen emphasizes small, achievable steps and normalizes the courage it takes to start therapy. People who prefer clear goals, hands-on skills, and steady encouragement tend to do well with her.
The focus is on practical progress and building skills that carry into everyday life.
How Karen’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Karen commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new behaviors and thought patterns to reduce distress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on daily functioning, using techniques tailored to each person.Finding the right approach is a process she navigates with clients. She will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest strategies to try together. That collaborative planning helps decide which methods to emphasize as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone calls require less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing skills practice between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
