About Karie
Karie Leduc is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 19 years of experience in Rhode Island. She offers a steady, engaged presence for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps in life. Karie focuses on helping clients understand painful patterns and make changes they actually find useful.
She aims to create a collaborative, non-judgmental space where exploration feels possible. Sessions are interactive - Karie participates actively, sets clear goals with each person, and follows a path toward those goals together. She pays close attention to emotions and nonverbal cues to understand what matters most in the room.
Karie helps people untangle the past from the present so they can move forward. Conversations often examine which behaviors have been helpful, which ones cause difficulty, and what strengths can be built on. This practical work can include coping with loss, grief, or major life transitions like job or relationship changes.
Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, anger, self-esteem, and sleep difficulties. She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating issues, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Karie has worked in community mental health and private practice for many years. She offers flexible scheduling and communicates several times a day, seven days a week. Live chat, phone, and video sessions are available and can be scheduled based on need and convenience.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach centers on emotion-focused work, which helps people notice and name feelings, understand how emotions shape reactions, and practice new ways to respond when strong feelings arise. This method can be useful for relationship strain, grief, and recurrent anxiety.Another widely used approach targets patterns of thinking and behavior by identifying thoughts and habits that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to test beliefs, shift behaviors, and try new ways of handling stress or sleep disruption. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit their needs and preferences.
Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing more flexible scheduling. The biography indicates chat, phone, and video sessions are available, but prospective clients should confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins, single-focus conversations, or full video sessions depending on what a person needs and the format agreed on.
