How her approaches translate to online therapy
Karen uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices in simple, clear ways. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and improve sleep and mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing exercises to calm the mind and reduce nighttime rumination.She also uses solution-focused methods that concentrate on small, realistic steps and measurable goals. These techniques help people build better bedtime routines, handle stressors that disrupt rest, and track small improvements over time. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; Karen works with each person to decide which tools fit their goals and daily life.
