About Karen
Karen Perry is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 17 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to trauma, addictions, and self-esteem. She also supports clients navigating polyamory and other non-monogamous relationship challenges.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are practical and focused on what you want to change. She listens first and shapes the conversation to fit each person's situation.
Background and approach
Karen combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, while keeping attention on present-moment experience. Motivational interviewing also guides conversations about change when someone feels stuck.
She uses emotionally-focused ideas when relationship or intimacy concerns are central, helping people clarify feelings and improve connection. Treatment plans are individualized and adjusted as progress is made. The aim is straightforward: clearer goals, small experiments between sessions, and skills that fit day-to-day life.
Karen is licensed as an LMFT in Arizona and Oklahoma and practices from Oklahoma. She works in English and accepts clients from other countries. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits each person’s timing.
How these approaches look in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In practice this means the therapist reflects what you say, asks questions to clarify, and follows the pace you set to help you feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; this is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, ADHD-related patterns, and stress management.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist starts by learning about your goals and preferences, then suggests approaches that fit what you want to change. Together you’ll try ideas, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it matches real life and feels workable.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect: video calls for deeper conversation and emotional work, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging for brief coaching and follow-up between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping momentum between sessions.
