About Karen
Karen Epple is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, sleep problems, and LGBT issues. Her practice also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, domestic violence, family problems, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and smoking or vaping cessation.
She focuses on straightforward help that fits everyday life. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning strategies to manage mood and sleep, and practicing small changes that add up. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to find what helps most in daily routines.
Clients can expect practical steps and gentle guidance rather than jargon. She pays attention to how life changes, health, and caregiving responsibilities affect mood and function. Work, family, money, and health pressures are treated as part of the problem list to address together.
Her background spans clinical and community settings across three decades. That experience informs simple, tested techniques for coping with loss, improving motivation, and reducing stress. Karen aims to help people regain confidence and clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. If someone is considering beginning work with her, they are asked to follow the site process to review options and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Karen uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify thinking patterns and test small behavior changes; this approach is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and stress. Mindfulness therapy in her practice focuses on simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on concrete goals and short steps people can try between sessions to see quick progress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide whether to emphasize CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps based on the client’s goals and daily life. That decision can change over time as needs evolve.
The practical benefit of meeting online is that therapy can fit into busy schedules and different time zones, which is helpful for international clients. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, practice home-based strategies such as sleep or breathing exercises between meetings, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into work and caregiving routines.
