About Karen

Karen Epple is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. She offers a calm, approachable presence for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or low. Karen listens first, then helps clients find small, workable steps to feel better and regain energy.

Her style is warm and direct. She keeps sessions practical and focused on everyday life. Karen uses clear tools to build confidence, manage stress, and address sleep or mood concerns.

Background and approach

Gentle humor and plain language are common in her sessions. Karen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple ways to slow down and manage racing thoughts.

Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term goal setting so clients can try concrete changes between sessions. Over three decades she has worked in varied settings helping people with grief, caregiver stress, aging-related concerns, relationship and family problems, and end-of-life issues. She also addresses ADHD-related challenges, smoking or vaping cessation, life-purpose questions, and women's issues.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Karen speaks English and is available to work with clients in Florida and internationally. If you want straightforward support to cope with change and build routines that work, she can help you plan the next step.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Karen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different behaviors that change mood and daily routines. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and try small steps that produce practical results between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Karen works with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means trying techniques together and shifting focus when needed rather than sticking to one rigid method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to get consistent support without long travel or schedule disruption.
