About Karen
Karen Bradt is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Karen emphasizes understanding how the brain reacts to stress and trauma so clients feel less overwhelmed by their symptoms.
She blends talk therapy with clear education about how trauma affects thinking and behavior. Sessions often include small, achievable experiments to change habitual reactions.
Background and approach
Karen asks clients to try new techniques and to give feedback so she can adjust the approach when something doesn't fit. Her work combines Attachment-Based Therapy ideas with client-centered care and cognitive-behavioral tools. She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
The goal is to help people learn skills that reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. Karen pays attention to physical health as part of mental health. She encourages activity that fits each person's life and may suggest small movement goals to support mood.
She shares real-world examples, such as brief exposure steps for people with avoidance, so progress feels possible. Clients in Florida will find her direct, grounded style and focus on practical change helpful. She starts by listening to what matters most to the client, then builds an individualized plan that combines education, skills practice, and gradual behavioral change.

Online support
How her approaches work in online therapy
Karen uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. That work looks at how people relate, react to closeness, and form expectations in relationships, which can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's experiences and choices. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what the client shares, and supports the client in finding their own solutions for stress, grief, or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Karen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She may combine approaches and swap techniques if something does not feel helpful, and she invites ongoing feedback to shape the plan together.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video helps with face-to-face connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or continuing work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain progress over time.
