About Karen
Karen Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood swings, or past hurts. Karen creates a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters to them and take small steps forward.
Her work centers on building better communication and stronger emotional awareness. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries out new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon. Karen uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. She pairs that with client-centered listening so each person guides the pace of therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are also used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. People come to Karen for many concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and family problems. She also supports those working through body image, communication struggles, addiction, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She aims to help clients build self-compassion, clearer choices, and practical coping skills. New clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule using the site's intake steps to begin work together.

Online support
How attachment and practical therapies work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional reactions. In online sessions this can translate into noticing patterns in how someone connects, and practicing new ways of relating in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace; the therapist reflects, supports, and helps clients name their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple exercises to test new behaviors and shift unhelpful thinking.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they adjust tools and pace so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat or text sessions suit short check-ins, journaling-style reflections, or times when writing feels safer. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while using the therapist's chosen therapeutic approaches.
