About Karen
Karen Sollberger is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Louisiana. She brings nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life problem solving. Her approach pulls from several methods. She uses client-centered techniques to follow each person’s lead and build trust.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce overwhelm and improve attention. Karen also brings solution-focused and existential ideas when they fit a person’s goals.
That can mean concentrating on small, achievable changes or looking at life meaning and priorities. She adapts the work to match each person’s situation rather than sticking to one formula. People who choose Karen often want straightforward help with coping skills, clearer decision making, and emotional relief.
She supports practical steps like communication skills, relapse prevention for addictions, and strategies for managing mood shifts. The focus is on steady progress and restoring a sense of control.
Approach-driven online therapy for everyday challenges
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people feel understood and accepted; this approach helps when someone needs a space to sort through feelings and make clear decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and make adjustments together over time. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people see facial cues and do deeper conversations, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
